In this episode of The Disruptive Successor Show, Jonathan speaks with Phil Johnson, Founder of Master of Business Leadership Inc. Emotional intelligence is the ability to feel the fear and anxiety that changing innovation triggers in us and move through it towards what it is we're trying to achieve, as opposed to allowing that fear and anxiety to keep us trapped in our comfort zones. This definition is different from what most people think emotional intelligence is, which is the ability to read people and sense where they are coming from. However, both definitions are important in different ways. Phil explains that emotional intelligence can be developed and concludes that the benefits of doing so are immense. It can be compared to the growth of a penny doubling in value every day, which grows exponentially. The development of emotional intelligence is an important process that actually guarantees that individuals be successful in their careers and personal lives. Emotional intelligence is based on actions and experiences, and cannot be simply learned by reading or having conversations. Phil emphasizes the idea that emotional intelligence is more important than intellectual intelligence. Emotional intelligence is the ability to understand and manage emotions. It is important because it allows people to inspire others, make them feel safe, and manage their own emotions, an important quality for leaders to successfully lead their teams. He discusses the 3 primary sources of resistance that people need to change to develop emotional intelligence, with 2 being biological and 1 sociological: the amygdala, existing habits, and other people not wanting us to change. Phil teaches that unless a person has an emotional connection to the desired outcome that is greater than their fear, they will never leave their comfort zone and fall short of developing their emotional intelligence. HIGHLIGHT QUOTES PHIL: Emotional intelligence is developed through experiences "A development of emotional intelligence is an experiential process, so in other words, you can't develop emotional intelligence by having a conversation or reading a book or watching a video. Those are intellectual processes. The development of emotional intelligence is based on what you do. As a matter of fact, what you do will change what you think. Thinking doesn't change doing. Doing changes thinking." PHIL: Emotional intelligence development requires a desire for change that is greater than your fear "Unless you have an emotional connection to the desired result that's stronger than your fear, you won't be willing to do the emotional labor required to get those benefits. And quite frankly, most people don't have that level of emotional connection or pain to achieve better results."
