PEOPLE SKILLS

If you have experience in hiring people, you know the importance of people skills. Educational skills are useless in some industries when people skills are absent.
You can have great ideas, theories, and solve complex problems, but if you cannot effectively communicate that material in a persuasive and exciting manner by relating to your fellow human, you face an uphill battle in whatever challenges you encounter.
It’s not that people dislike you because of your intelligence; it’s that people dislike you because you’re rude, not understanding, or annoying to be around. The intelligent person with poor communication skills is insensitive or unaware of other’s emotions.

WHEN SMART IS DUMB.....

     
        
  Exactly why David Pologruto, a high-school physics teacher, was stabbed with a kitchen knife by one of his star students is still debatable.  But the facts as widely reported are these:

Jason H., a sophomore and straight-A student at a Coral Springs, Florida, high school, was fixated on getting into medical school.  Not just any  medical school – he dreamt of Harvard.  But Pologruto, his physics teacher, had given Jason an 80 on a quiz.  Believing the grade – a mere B – put his dream in jeopardy, Jason took a butcher knife to school and, in a confrontation with Pologruto in the physics lab, stabbed his teacher in the collarbone before being subdued in a struggle.
       A judge found Jason innocent, temporarily insane during the incident – a panel of four psychologists and psychiatrists swore he was psychotic during the fight.  Jason claimed he had been planning to commit suicide because of the test score, and had gone to Pologruto to tell him he was killing himself because of the bad grade. Pologruto told a different story: “I think he tried to completely do me in with the knife” because he was infuriated over the bad grade.
      After transferring to a private school, Jason graduated two years later at the top of his class.  A perfect grade in regular classes would have given him a straight-A, 4.0 average, but Jason had taken enough advanced courses to raise his grade-point average to 4.614 – way beyond A+.  Even as Jason graduated with highest honors, his old physics teacher, David Pologruto, complained that Jason had never apologized or even taken responsibility for the attack.
      The question is, how could someone of such obvious intelligence do something so irrational – so downright dumb? The answer: Academic intelligence has little to do with emotional life.  The brightest among us can founder on the shoals of unbridled passions and unruly impulses; people with high IQs can be stunningly poor pilots of their private lives.

Effective Communication ~

People in organizations today spend 75% of their time communicating. Good communication is the tops managers list of hiring factors. Good communication makes executives more promotable. Good communication determines how successful you will be. 

According to the Time Magazine's : The "EQ Factor",
the consensus of personal executives in the corporate world is :


 ~ IQ GETS YOU HIRED, 
BUT EQ GETS YOU PROMOTED ~


p/s : Well.....is that so? (^,^)
