Tune up your EQ

Emotional Intelligence Chapter For New Caribbean HR Textbook

I am excited that I’m writing about emotional intelligence for a forthcoming Caribbean human resource management textbook.

My chapter will describe how a group of Jamaican construction workers delivered their work on the construction of the World Cup Cricket Stadium ahead of time and under budget.

If you’re a regular Tune up your EQ reader, you may know these happenings as the How To Build A World Cup Cricket Stadium With Emoitional Intelligence Story.

I recently posted an early draft of the abstract of the chapter by mistake. I apologise if I confused you.

Do You Have Any Relevant Information?

Please contact me by Monday 10th December by ‘phone (my contact details are here), by completing the contact form below, or by commenting on the comment box, if you have been involved in, or are aware of, any research or activities regarding emotional intelligence in the Caribbean workplace. I will look into every referral and include the work in the references.

Feel free, also, to send me your comments, queries and suggestions.

I find that writing is a great tool for reflection and I’m looking forward to learning and to helping others to learn. I’ll share some of my insights once I have completed the bulk of the writing.

Thank you for your interest and support.

Asafa Powell On Winning 100m Bronze, Not Gold At The World Championship

“I started very well then I stumbled a bit and I tried to pull away from Tyson (Gay) I pulled away a little bit but I felt him coming and I started to tighten up.”

“I needed to stay relaxed and hold my ground but I panicked and Tyson got the best of me.”

“I was in great shape and ready to go, but I made a huge mistake in the final.”

These were Asafa Powell’s words in an interview immediately after finishing third in the 100 metres final at the World Athletic Championships in Osaka.

The Legend Of The Phoenix

The phoenix is a lone beautiful bird, the only one of its kind. It is said to live for nearly five hundred years, after which it begins to build a nest of dry sticks and twigs, all the while singing a melodious tune.

When the phoenix finishes this task, it flaps its wings furiously and sets the nest on fire. Resting on top of the burning pile, it slowly consumes itself into ashes. It then rises from the ashes, a new bird. The new phoenix is alone and unique. It lives for another five hundred years.

Are Self-Awareness and Naivety The Same Thing?

1. Was Asafa “too honest” in this interview?

2. Is Asafa a phoenix or a failure?

I’m curious to know what you think.
