Passed over for a Promotion, Again?

We have said it time and time again, be prepared for your career.  Learn all that you can about your work.  Take classes, observe and become a lifelong learner. 

Is that it?  Is that enough?  How many times has the Company with the best product or service been overlooked by a potential buyer?  How many times has a person been promoted when they lacked the experience and the know how of the peers who were passed over.

Why?  Tell me it isn’t so, Joe.  Well, the sad truth is that it is.  He is so smart  but…  She has all the right moves but…  The truth is it takes more than technical skills and know how.  In fact, studies have shown that skills and knowledge are only 20% of the makeup of a successful person.  So, what is the other 80%.  That Pareto Rule at work again.

The 80% is attitude or said another way, it is the Emotional IQ of the person.  A person who is gets along with people, can roll with the punches, always has a willingness to do a good job, a person who knows when to push and when to back off, a person with a high Emotional IQ.

So how do you know if YOU have it?  How do you know if your Employees have a high Emotional IQ?  At Blue Gill, we offer an Emotional IQ assessment.  It is validated by the company who is known for the highest quality assessments in the world.  The company that is over 25 years old.  Contact us for a complimentary Emotional IQ assessment and see where you pan out.
