Via LinkedIn Groups Group: Entrepreneurs in Social Media Discussion: Why You Should Care About Emotional Intelligence It's easier for larger companies, with training programs, to teach employees enough to begin the journey into customer awareness as it relates to that particular company. And every company is different. They've had pros gather the 'emotional intelligence'. Having worked with both large corporations, and small biz's, with entrepreneurial and smaller biz's an employee generally has the owner's experience to guide them. Over time, a successful biz has gathered 'emotional intelligence'. Knows who their customers are, why they buy what they buy; the hows and whys of presenting it to customers. And can guide employees. Large, or small, gathering customer intelligence is what successful biz's have always done. The difference, today, is factoring in social social media marketing. Posted by Jean L. Serio

Via LinkedIn Groups Group: MyVerizon Discussion: Why You Should Care About Emotional Intelligence In addition to what Flip and Michael stated, you need common sense and a tremedous amount of patience. Project leaders must be able to work with all people which includes executives, management, non-mangement and contractors. And lets not forget the hours a project leader must be willing to work.

@Alain, I don't know what kind of work you do but if you are succesful at motivating ohers to do a good job, you probably have those skills without necesarily using the words "emotional intelligence". This term is very often used in America but much less in Europe, especially in the workplace.

Odilia, thank you for your comment. I believe we should consider a person in an holistic way. If you have troubles with your relationships in your personal life chances are very high that this will also impact your performance at work.

Totally agree Flip. Too often we see project managers chosen for their technical skills who lack this fundamental people skill.

Via LinkedIn Groups Group: Open Journalism Discussion: Why You Should Care About Emotional Intelligence Sorry, I'm not involved in service industry in this way. You are probably right, but I don't understand why I should have all these skills. I used to make my job as perfectly as possible and it was all. Keep the customer satisfied. But the field I was working in is perhaps specific... All the best AM Posted by alain marchal
