Human Factors Toolset
Published in Alex Gorod, Leonie Hallo, Vernon Ireland, Indra Gunawan, Evolving Toolbox for Complex Project Management, 2019
Emotional intelligence is the ability to identify and manage one’s own emotions and those of others. The literature on emotional intelligence identifies motivation and empathy as two of the key elements of the construct which provide the pathway for identifying the toolsets needed for leading in complexity. There is no assessment for emotional intelligence. It is not a single construct but rather a collection of skills honed over time. Historically, the world of business was one where emotions were frowned upon and leaders were taught to “leave their emotions at the door” when walking into work as they were considered to cloud decision-making and rational thought.

Intelligence is overrated. That is what the evidence has shown us. Whilst there is much debate over what intelligence actually is, we consistently find that, however you measure it, it is a very poor predictor of personal success and happiness. This applies whether we are looking at our effectiveness in business or in our personal relationships. Yet there remains an unquestioning reverence for the technology-laden ‘intelligent building’ or the ‘smart building’.
The Quest: Pursuing Creativity and Innovation
Published in John Fabian, Creative Thinking & Problem Solving, 2018
Geniuses have made great, creative contributions. But genius does not a creator make. Creative products can be strokes of genius by ordinary folk. Correlations between intelligence and creativity haven’t been strong. Although knowledge of a field is often critical for providing breakthroughs, genius may have little to do with the accumulation of knowledge.
The effect of emotional intelligence on unsafe behavior of miners: the role of emotional labor strategies and perceived organizational support

Emotional intelligence is usually considered to be the ability of individuals to monitor and inspect their or others’ emotions and to identify and use this monitoring information to guide their thoughts and behaviors. There are three main categories of the definition of emotional intelligence. One is the definition of competence theory represented by Goleman [16], who regards emotional intelligence as a kind of ability by which emotions could be controlled, recognized and understood. Furthermore, in this theory, there is the tendency that emotion could be used to promote individual independent thinking. The second is a mixed model, represented by Salovey and Mayer [17], who considered that emotional intelligence could be a combination of ability and trait. In addition to controlling and regulating emotions such as fear, anger and anxiety, the definition also includes emotional characteristics such as self-confidence, initiative, optimism and motivation. In the third definition, emotional intelligence could be described as ‘the set of non-cognitive competencies and skills that affect an individual’s successful response to demands and pressures in the environment’ [18]. Followed by the addition, emotional intelligence is the social ability to effectively cope with the set of emotional competencies that affect the demands of the environment [19]. Based on this definition, Law et al. [20] gave the most comprehensive and the most commonly used four dimensions of emotional intelligence in academic research so far: self-emotion perception, emotional application, emotional regulation and other-emotion perception.
Posthumanism: Creation of ‘New Men’ Through Technological Innovation

The general consensus is that increased intelligence would be an improvement of the human population. Intelligence has significant heritability and a confirmed polygenic nature. Although genes influence complex behavioural traits such as intelligence, twin studies do not show that they are more determinant than the environment (Turkheimer 2000). A study on the heritability of IQ found that in impoverished families, the shared environment accounted for about 60% of IQ variance, while heritability was close to zero. In contrast, in affluent families, heritability was high and the effect of the shared environment of no importance (Turkheimer et al. 2003). Moreover, the effects of genes and families do not account for a substantial portion of the variation in other complex human behavioural traits (Turkheimer 2000).

Although emotions are examined at the state level, emotional intelligence captures stable characteristics in emotion (Petrides et al., 2007). Emotional intelligence describes a cognitive ability responsible for processing and manipulating emotional information for behaviour (Mayer et al., 2008). Emotional intelligence examined as a higher-order personality trait (e.g., TEI), has been shown to have explanatory power in sport (Laborde et al., 2016) and a relationship with cognitive processing in athletes which differ on a function of expertise (Vaughan et al., 2019). Previous work supports the importance of TEI in sport reporting a positive relationship with emotional regulation, performance under pressure, performance satisfaction, more adaptive coping strategies, and practice volume (Laborde et al., 2016, 2017).
