The book is about disengaged workers and it outlines the cost to U.S companies… excess of $250 billion in 2002 numbers. Can anyone begin to guess what disengagement costs today?!

The cost of employee disengagement is extremely high, one study citing as much as $350 billion per year is lost due to disengagement. And the number one person credited with both high employee engagement as well as low employee engagement is…. drumroll… the manager.

Greater Emotional Intelligence (EQ) enhances one’s life immensely. Our bodies and minds are energy systems. Have you ever walked into a room of people and felt hostility immediately? That’s energy. Have you been in the presence of someone who immediately makes you feel a strong sense of peace and serenity? That is energy. Have you walked into an empty room and felt peace?

Let’s define EQ. Emotional intelligence is the ability to understand emotions, particularly one’s own emotions. “Know thyself”, proclaims the ancient Greek aphorism. Self-awareness and self-regulation are the first two tenets of EQ.

The term is derogatory in nature and refers to “cutting down” people who have higher social, economic, or political status. The reference dates back first to Livy’s (59 BCE) History of Rome, Book I which recounts the story of a Roman King symbolically sweeping a stick through his garden to chop off the heads of the tallest poppies growing in the garden. This was to symbolize a society that was leery of people who are deserving of genuine merit and positive attention. In other words, do not stand above the crowd!
