Welcome to OrgSuccess, the unique space dedicated to building emotional intelligence (EI) at work for employees, teams, emerging leaders, managers/leaders or whole organisations.

Research shows that emotional intelligence is one of the strongest predictors of professional success, or lack thereof.  In fact, the higher one's position in an organisation, the more important EI is - accounting for 85-90% of the success of organisational leaders.  (Goleman et al 2001)

Emotional Intelligence (EI) is the foundation on which all people strategies are successfully built.  At work, it is all about how people and relationships function.  Your HR strategies simply can't work without emotional intelligence!
