      By learning about EQ. I recommend picking up the book “Emotional Intelligence 2.0,” taking the assessment, read it, and focus on areas you can improve. Then revisit and practice the tips over the next 3 months (their timeline) and reassess. It is ongoing after that but it is a good starting point with actionable tips.

      Emotional Intelligence 2.0 by Travis Bradberry. Two people had to recommend it to me independently before I finally read it. Reading and deeply contemplating this book dramatically increased my ability to understand and predict emotionally driven behaviors. Drama in movies and in life started to make sense.

      Positive Intelligence. I was able to "label" my personality and all of those of my teams and reports. I know how I need to change, and know what drives the people I work with. I never thought of the over achiever as a problem, but they "prevent" others from stepping up. Emotional Intelligence 2.0. Much easier read than the original. We are humans, driven by emotion, we need to be smart about it.

      I'm currently working my way through a book called Emotional Intelligence 2.0.

      http://www.amazon.com/Emotional-Intelligence-2-0-Travis-Brad...

      It breaks down emotional skills into personal competence skills -- self-awareness and self-management -- and social competence skills -- social awareness and relationship management. It's accompanied by an online assessment that gives you a score in each of the four areas, and helps you devise a plan to improve in the areas you need. It also discusses over a dozen strategies in each area that you can practice to improve.

      So far, I really like it, it's very straightforward and the strategies it offers are really concrete and not terribly difficult to practice. My partner is also reading it, to support my own efforts (I need it more than he does), he is further along into it than I am and he's also been really impressed with it so far.

      Lately, I've been seeing "emotional intelligence" cited here and there as a critical link between intelligence and success. I grabbed a copy of "Emotional Intelligence 2.0" by Bradberry and Greaves to form my own opinion.

      Most of the things I read seem like common sense; the main benefit for me has been it focused me more directly on trying to improve myself, much like visiting a therapist.

      So have I been the latest buzzword victim to the tune of $20? Or is there something to this?
