Versatility and Emotional Intelligence

The concepts of Emotional Intelligence are not new, with research going back to the early part of the 20th century. The term “Emotional Intelligence” was introduced by Salovey and Mayer in 1990. But it was Daniel Goleman, a Harvard-trained psychologist and writer who really brought EQ into the mainstream. He wrote about EQ in The New York Times and his 1995 book Emotional Intelligence. But it was his 1998 article in Harvard Business Review3 that sparked great interest in the business community.

The key premise of Emotional Intelligence is that EQ skills relate to how effectively people work with others, specifically around:

  • Self-Awareness
  • Self-Management
  • Social Awareness
  • Relationship Management.

Versatility and EQ are closely linked and there is a link to a free Whitepaper below that goes into a lot more detail. The key focus of Versatility is Image, Presentation, Competence and Feedback and operates under the premise that you need to do the following things in order;

  • Know Yourself
  • Control yourself
  • Recognise others
  • Do something for others

Comparing the two models we can see the similarities between these two highly effective theories. which have both been responsible for dramatic increases in Performance and Productivity
