Emotional Intelligence Fact: “As children grow ever smarter in IQ, their emotional intelligence is on the decline. The most telling signs of this are seen in the rising rates among young people of problems such as despair, alienation, drug abuse, crime and violence, depression etc…” Declining emotional intelligence is not only affecting our children, it permeates the work place. Emotional intelligence accounts foe between 75% and 90% of success in the work place. While cognitive skills get a person in the door; emotional intelligence predicts success. Only 7% of problems in the work place are due to cognitive performance issues. We must teach our children how to play well with others. Working With Emotional Intelligence— Goleman
