You may have read a lot about Emotional Intelligence from good folks like JCA or Daniel Goleman. You might even have had your emotional intelligence measured! It's great stuff and an essential component of any high performer - we don't know any person at the top of their game who doesn't posses huge self-awareness and self-management skills, and they're equally tuned in to getting the most from other people too. However, great performers also posses enormous amounts of Performance Intelligence® too.
You might want to think about what your balance is between Emotional and Performance Intelligences going into 2009. Being emotionally intelligent alone will get you so far in these testing times, but actually being 100% on top of your Performance Intelligence® will ensure different results altogether.
Performance Intelligence® is made up of how well you know the arena you perform in and how well you know yourself as a performer (here's some other stuff we wrote about it). In addition, you need to know how effectively you use this knowledge to help drive the strategy and actions that lead to results. It's all about knowing AND doing, and having the balance between the two absolutely focused on delivering predictable results.
We think the smart focus for 2009 is on maximising Performance Intelligence® and it's safe to say that you'll have to be emotionally intelligent to bring everyone with you who you need on your journey, so get EI + PI to maximise your resilience and effectiveness from here on in!
