Science of Success
Many people focus on the importance of cognitive intelligence in predicting academic and professional success. But empirical evidence suggests that other traits – including emotional intelligence (EQ) and a growth mindset – play a fundamental role in helping people achieve the best outcomes in their personal and professional lives. This talk examines the distinct components of EQ, how having a growth mindset helps you be a better colleague and leader, and how creating psychological safety – in which team members are able to speak up without fear of negative repercussions – improves team performance. Perhaps most importantly, this talk provides practical strategies for increasing your own EQ and cultivating a growth mindset, no matter your natural inclination.
