From EQ to RQ: The Evolution of Emotional Intelligence

EQ or RQ

In 30 seconds

EQ – emotional intelligence – has been top of mind in business since the 1990s.

Mastering EQ is essential to personal and professional development when it comes to performing well in leadership, sales and service, or any other role, paid or voluntary.

However, mastering EQ is not enough to help us succeed in business and in life. For people and organisations to flourish and prosper, the nature and quality of human-to-human relationships matter.

This is where RQ – relational intelligence – comes into play.

RQ is about self AND other awareness, ethical intelligence, creating a deep sense of mutual trust underpinned by discernment, deep questioning, analysis, listening and understanding, and critical reflection.

RQ is the next step in our humans-at-the-centre revolution.

Remember, everybody lives by selling something.
