For the past decade, important research has been done in organizations to show that feelings and emotions have a direct impact on effectiveness, efficiency and ultimately the bottom line.
Most importantly, this concept has great potential for creating positive change. Instead of feeling stuck, people can now take steps to enhance their emotional intelligence and increase their effectiveness in both their work and personal lives. Currently, the concept is often applied to teams. Looking at the emotional intelligence of teams is important because most of the work in organizations today is done by teams. Leaders have a pressing need today to make teams work together better.
Modern
businesses thrive when using teams to organize the work. Teams have more
talent and experience, more diversity of resources, and greater operating
flexibility than individual performers. Research in the last decade has
proven the superiority of group decision-making over that of even the
brightest individual in the group. But the exception to this rule is when
the group lacks harmony or the ability to cooperate. Then decision-making
quality and speed suffer. |

1998), managers in organizations everywhere nodded heads in agreement.
Finally, what they knew to be true about dealing with people had a name
and was clearly articulated.
