I am not sure whether I agree with the author's premise that emotional intelligence can be substantially improved by anyone, let alone become a strength. I believe it has a lot to do with talents, such as Empathy, Harmony and Positivity. For this reason, I strongly recommend it to people with these talents. <BR/><BR/>I quote the book: "Our analysis suggest that, overall, the climate - how people feel about working at a company - can account for 20 to 30 percent of business performance".<BR/><BR/>"In general, the more emotionally demanding the work, the more empathetic and supportive the leader needs to be. Leaders drive the service climate and thus the predisposition of employees to satisfy customers."Matthiashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08883382728089616616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97945046492126284.post-63883283265954473872008-08-19T18:31:00.000-03:002008-08-19T18:31:00.000-03:00Para mim o filme Path Adams: O amor é contagioso, ...Para mim o filme Path Adams: O amor é contagioso, mostra muito da empatia entre pessoas e a dificuldade por parte de outras pessoas em entender o outro. Dr. Path Adams (Rob Willians) é um estudante de medicina que foge dos tradicionais métodos de atendimentos médicos. Ele é uma pessoa extremamente empatica, que se coloca no lugar dos doentes e percebe, que mais do que atendimento médico, uma pessoa doente necessita de amor, de atencao, alem de que cada pessoa deve ser tratada como um ser único e nao haver um comportamento padrao, como a maioria dos médicos costuma fazer. Cada qual, com sua necessidade. Com isso, ele consegue mostrar a outros estudantes que seu método é válido e faz com que estes aprovem sua metodologia e passem a entender o lado emocional de um doente....Acho que vale a pena ver este filme e considerar os aspectos comportamentais que aparecem . Podemos perceber que as pessoas tem diferentes talento, acarretando assim, dificuldades de entendimento sobre os divergentes tipos de comportamento, o que muitas vezes provoca atitudes que vemos como "negativas", quando deveríamos analisar quais os talentos que aquela pessoa possui...para entender seus comportamentos.Cinara Buttnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07032635204860866267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97945046492126284.post-43754363343240617622008-08-17T21:26:00.000-03:002008-08-17T21:26:00.000-03:00Empathy is unfortunately on the lower end of my ta...Empathy is unfortunately on the lower end of my talent spectrum. I realize this when I am in negotiations or interviews, and my colleagues would say "did you perceive how his head flushed red when you asked him this question?". Most often, I haven't perceived anything. <BR/><BR/>When I read David J. Lieberman's "You Can Read Anyone - Never be Fooled, Lied to, or Taken Advantage of Again", it dawned on me how powerful Empathy can be even in the tough business world. Empathy being a weakness of me, there is no book that would turn it into a Strength, but it helped me appreciate a lot the talent of Empathy, and I imagine that this book might be very interesting for people strong in Empathy!Matthiashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08883382728089616616noreply@blogger.com
