Tackling the Crisis of EQ

Yesterday we put it to you that we are in a crisis of EQ. We are collectively ill-prepared to interact in a mindful and empathic way and we have insufficient knowledge and practice to analyse our own emotions and the emotions of others. Unfortunately, there is a need to do this analysis which is more pressing by the minute as every day that passes in this unEQed space only increases our HumanDebt™.

This is not about a handful of awareness-raising courses or even hiring some coaches, this is about putting in place an educational effort of mammoth scale to help employees everywhere learn about feelings.

Ultimately this is about the organisation realising how sorely needed this is and about leaders and team members alike mustering the goodwill to stop shunning the important work.
