Can emotional intelligence be learned? | Daniel Goleman

[@t.sanjuepaye3773]

Great! Emotional Intelligence is what most emerging leaders don't have. Speech control is very important in working on improving emotional intelligence. Do not respond to everything that you hear by speaking back. Study instead what is being said and your quietude will help you determine how you should respond to it.

[@Noitisnt-ns7mo]

What I wonder is, being very "politically correct", is that emotional intelligence, or just a case of being well "brain washed".

Reminds me of Aaron Antonofskys work Coherence of Context - having a good comprehension, being able to handle crisis, and having meaning in Life.

It's absolutely indispensable for an investor in the stock market too. I'm talking about the insight into one's emotions.

The video is good and quite interesting but for the horrible loud music in between...

EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE MY RICHARD...

[@radioserrelind]

Did he really say "...the women are just as good at regulating their emotions as the men" as if women being unregulated is somehow innate to us? Sir. Perhaps you would like to deconstruct that statement.

[@Timmerdetimmerdetim]

What's the timestamp? As I see it he's saying _both_ are innately unregulated. At least in regards to the requirements of high functioning leadership positions. I see it as a testimony to the plastic nature of our minds. Or in other words: nurture eclipses nature at this very point.

Hey, this video is really nice. I really believe that emotional intelligence can assist in every thing! #coacheq2020

I severely disliked the music volume, trying to listen to him and then bam!!! the fucking music as loud as can be, whats the idea?

[@rubicunduseratiudas1264]

"Emotional intelligence" is like "almond milk" or "white chocolate": IT DOESN'T EXIST.

[@Timmerdetimmerdetim]

Better not to get lost in those epistemological rabbit holes. I'm pretty sure the meaning of his words are clear to you and that's all you should be caring about (for now.)

[@rubicunduseratiudas1264]

@@Timmerdetimmerdetim But the meaning of "emotional intelligence" is not clear to most, that's why I posted. It's not an epistemological rabbit hole; it's the forced linking of two concepts that are contradiction in terms, that's all. No need to appeal to any kind of epistemology. It's only a matter of principle because "emotional intelligence" is currently being taught in schools as an academic topic.

@@rubicunduseratiudas1264 Yeah, well, there's no real definition to intelligence and I don't know about yours but I do not consider my emotions to be dumb. So there's that.

[@Timmerdetimmerdetim]

@@rubicunduseratiudas1264 If the meaning isn't clear to most, then _most_ would do best to listen to Goleman's explanation or read his books. _Most_ could also point to some specific examples but what _most_ need not do is try to take it all too rigorously.

Emotional Intelligence is a nice idea ... feels intuitive ...but it's TOTAL BS

[@claestapper5190]

What do you mean? Why is it total bs?

[@pablorages1241]

@@claestapper5190 Even Goleman said it was a nebulous concept that is not well defined and difficult to measure .. there are multiple models for it .. and the testing has little predictive ability .. it's a concept that seems intuitive but is pseudo-science.

[@Noitisnt-ns7mo]

@@pablorages1241 Obviously you haven't read his book. Good for you, another chanter in the mob.// Measuring "IQ" is probably a weaker concept than "EI" and as he had said less significant to success, economically and socially. Some schools are adopting his methods, which doesn't support your description of "nebulous" although that is a cool word. ( His book is very methodical and easy to understand for us regular people. You should read it, as it is also very interesting. Books being greatly different than mere videos- 4 Realz.)

[@pablorages1241]

@@Noitisnt-ns7mo I've read many of Golemans books and articles and studied EI as part of my psychology degree .. and was hoping to use it in my job as a tool for hiring but it's a myth ... it's a conglomeration of other existing cognitive ability tests but is less robust ... it fails in both reliability and validity ... what you are measuring is nebulous as Goleman himself has admitted and is it absolutely unreliable over repeated testing and across different tests ... it may seem intuitive and that's why consultants love to use it but it fails to produce results ...general intelligence on the other hand is one of the most studied and consistent psychometric tests available ... it's not perfect but it's much more consistent in application than EI !

[@Noitisnt-ns7mo]

@@pablorages1241 Taking you at your word, this is a sad testimony and completely inconsistent with my senses of reality. I personally know of two genius level persons. One put herself in a wheelchair with brain damage and the other mysteriously killed himself on the highway, of which they both could "perhaps" have benefited from this book. Dan said that proactive "therapy" (child) was always better than later established "repair" (adult, PTSD and what-have-you). He seemed to liken the whole thing to being similar to meditation, which is why I would like to read his second book. In my 66 yrs I've found doctors and 'experts" more bluster and bombast than of any genuine benefit to humanity( COVID - they caused it to cure it, we could have done without that.), but the subject of anatomy and psychology is interesting. Superlatives of "BS" cannot address "EI". The world is far from black and white answers.I appreciate your civil answer, just the same.
