El concepto de inteligencia emocional ha llegado a prácticamente todos los rincones de nuestro planeta, en forma de tiras cómicas, programas educativos, juguetes que dicen contribuir a su desarrollo o anuncios clasificados de personas que afirman buscarla en sus parejas. Incluso la UNESCO puso en marcha una iniciativa mundial en 2002, y remitió a los ministros de educación de 140 países una declaración con los 10 principios básicos imprescindibles para poner en marcha programas de aprendizaje social y emocional. El mundo empresarial no ha sido ajeno a esta tendencia y ha encontrado en la inteligencia emocional una herramienta inestimable para comprender la productividad laboral de las personas, el éxito de las empresas, los requerimientos del liderazgo y hasta la prevención de los desastres corporativos. No en vano, la Harvard Business Review ha llegado a calificar a la inteligencia emocional como un concepto revolucionario, una noción arrolladora, una de las ideas más influyentes de la década en el mundo empresarial. Revelando de forma esclarecedora el valor subestimado de la misma, la directora de investigación de un head hunter ha puesto de relieve que los CEO son contratados por su capacidad intelectual y su experiencia comercial y despedidos por su falta de inteligencia emocional. Sorprendido ante el efecto devastador de los arrebatos emocionales y consciente, al mismo tiempo, de que los tests de coeficiente intelectual no arrojaban excesiva luz sobre el desempeño de una persona en sus actividades académicas, profesionales o personales, Daniel Goleman ha intentado desentrañar qué factores determinan las marcadas diferencias que existen, por ejemplo, entre un trabajador «estrella» y cualquier otro ubicado en un punto medio, o entre un psicópata asocial y un líder carismático. Su tesis defiende que, con mucha frecuencia, la diferencia radica en ese conjunto de habilidades que ha llamado «inteligencia emocional», entre las que destacan el autocontrol, el entusiasmo, la empatía, la perseverancia y la capacidad para motivarse a uno mismo. Si bien una parte de estas habilidades pueden venir configuradas en nuestro equipaje genético, y otras tantas se moldean durante los primeros años de vida, la evidencia respaldada por abundantes investigaciones demuestra que las habilidades emocionales son susceptibles de aprenderse y perfeccionarse a lo largo de la vida, si para ello se utilizan los métodos adecuados.

Tras la publicación de Inteligencia Emocional, Daniel Goleman recibió una avalancha de cartas, invitaciones y propuestas para explorar las implicaciones de la competencia emocional en el mundo del trabajo. Su investigación había puesto en entredicho la excesiva importancia que se solía dar al intelecto como factor decisivo para evaluar a las personas y, por supuesto, como criterio central para contratar, juzgar, promover y valorar a los trabajadores. No fueron pocas las empresas y las personas que encontraron aquí una constatación científica de lo que ya les habían sugerido sus propias intuiciones y experiencias. Desde hacía algunas décadas, en su país se venían realizando algunos programas de formación para promover este tipo de habilidades emocionales, pero eran esfuerzos aislados y poco rigurosos. Movido por estos hechos, Goleman desarrolló durante dos años una investigación exhaustiva sobre el papel que ocupa la inteligencia emocional en el funcionamiento óptimo de individuos, equipos y organizaciones. Y si bien estas apreciaciones no resultan novedosas, lo que sí es innovador es el extenso soporte empírico que las sustenta, pues el autor recogió una multitud de estudios realizados durante veinticinco años en cientos de empresas, los cuales permiten cuantificar con asombrosa precisión el valor exacto de la inteligencia emocional para el éxito profesional. Actualmente, la oferta de profesionales con las capacidades intelectuales y las destrezas técnicas que requiere el mercado es abundante, gracias a la extensión de la educación superior, a la globalización de la fuerza de trabajo, a la asistencia prestada por las nuevas tecnologías y a otras tantas razones que explican el aumento y la homogeneidad en los niveles de capacitación técnica e intelectual de los trabajadores. Así las cosas, lo que marca la diferencia entre unos y otros, lo que hace que algunos sean trabajadores «estrella» mientras que otros no pasan de ser empleados mediocres, no hay que buscarlo tanto en su capacidad de razonamiento como en otras destrezas personales, como la iniciativa, la empatía, la adaptabilidad, la capacidad de persuasión y, en general, aquellas habilidades que configuran lo que se ha dado en llamar «inteligencia emocional».

La atención, en todas sus variedades, constituye un valor mental que, pese a ser poco reconocido, influye muy poderosamente en nuestro modo de movernos por la vida. Es un activo mental poco conocido y una capacidad mental subestimada y escurridiza, indispensable para determinar el escenario de nuestras operaciones mentales y vivir una vida plena. Para vivir adecuadamente, necesitamos cierta destreza que nos permita movernos en tres ámbitos distintos: el mundo externo, el mundo interno y el mundo de los demás. Los líderes que quieran obtener buenos resultados deben desarrollar estos tres tipos de foco. El foco interno nos ayuda a conectar con nuestras intuiciones y los valores que nos guían, favoreciendo el proceso de toma de decisiones; el foco externo nos ayuda a navegar por el mundo que nos rodea; y el foco en los demás mejora, por último, nuestra vida de relación. Por ello podemos decir que el líder desconectado de su mundo interno carece de timón, el indiferente a los sistemas mayores en los que se mueve está perdido, y el inconsciente ante el mundo interpersonal está ciego. Y no son solo los líderes quienes se benefician del equilibrio entre estos tres factores. Todos vivimos en entornos amenazadores en los que abundan las tensiones y objetivos enfrentados tan propios de la vida moderna. Cada una de estas tres modalidades de la atención puede ayudarnos a encontrar un equilibrio que nos ayude a ser más felices y productivos.

This digital collection, curated by Harvard Business Review, offers four books on the topic of emotional intelligence, found by bestselling author Daniel Goleman to be twice as important as other competencies in determining outstanding leadership. In Primal Leadership, With a New Preface by the Authors, the authors show that great leaders excel not just through skill and smarts, but by connecting with others using emotional intelligence competencies like empathy and self-awareness. The best leaders are “resonant” leaders—individuals who manage their own and others’ emotions in ways that drive success. In Resonant Leadership, Richard Boyatzis and Annie McKee provide an indispensable guide to overcoming the vicious cycle of stress, sacrifice, and dissonance that afflicts many leaders and offer a field-tested framework for creating the resonance that fuels great leadership. And in Becoming a Resonant Leader, Annie McKee, Richard Boyatzis, and Frances Johnston share vivid, real-life stories illuminating how people can develop emotional intelligence, build resonance, and renew themselves. Finally, HBR’s 10 Must Read on Emotional Intelligence presents 10 articles by experts in the field of emotional intelligence, all of which will inspire you to monitor and channel your moods and emotions; make smart, empathetic people decisions; manage conflict and regulate emotions within your team; react to tough situations with resilience; better understand your strengths, weaknesses, needs, values, and goals; and develop emotional agility.
