More on Emotional Intelligence

A quick Google search yielded some interesting and useful sites:

“Does ‘emotional intelligence’ matter in the workplace?” (Summarizes basic emotional intelligence theory advanced by psychologist Daniel Goleman, PhD., along with criticisms of it; indicates Goleman says “the real value of the growing work on emotional intelligence is its implications for workplace training.”)
“Your Career and Emotional Intelligence” (Includes discussion of emotional intelligence training, says: “More careers derail due to poor emotional behaviors than lack of technical skills. . . . By incorporating emotional intelligence into the training culture, the organization can enjoy higher productivity and less . . . turnover of talented workers.”)
“Leadership Skills for Managers” (Training program including substantial emotional intelligence components; undoubtedly only one example of dozens or hundreds.)
“The Business Case for Emotional Intelligence” (Great discussion of bottom-line impact of emotional intelligence; led me to the home page of The Consortium for Research on Emotional Intelligence in Organizations.)
