Listen "Exploring Emotional Intelligence"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, Andrew and Paul discuss the evolving role of emotional intelligence (EQ) in professional settings, particularly since COVID-19. They dive into the shift from viewing EQ as a weakness to considering it a valuable asset in business. The conversation also touches on the generational differences in the workplace, the challenges of balancing professional aspirations with personal well-being, and the impact of remote work on business dynamics. They explore the contrasts between high emotional intelligence and the traditional hard-nosed, narcissistic leadership styles exemplified by figures like Steve Jobs and Elon Musk. The episode concludes with a perspective on the future intersection of AI and emotional intelligence in business and society. 00:00 Introduction and Banter00:23 Exploring Emotional Intelligence00:49 Impact of COVID on Emotional Intelligence01:25 Generational Differences in Emotional Intelligence01:50 Corporate Culture and Emotional Intelligence03:56 Mental Health in the Workplace07:28 Challenges of Corporate Life16:41 The Role of Emotional Intelligence in Business23:01 Exploring Human-Robot Interactions23:37 The Future of Emotional Intelligence in an Automated World24:42 Industries and Systems in Transition26:06 Imagining the Future with AI and Consciousness29:03 Sci-Fi Movies as Predictions of the Future33:35 Dystopian vs. Utopian Futures35:57 The Role of Pioneers and Visionaries40:55 Balancing Emotional Intelligence and Achievement42:53 Famous Figures with High Emotional IntelligenceNew episodes drop weekly – so make sure to follow or subscribe to stay up to date.
