You Are Never Too Old For This!
Why Emotional Intelligence Is Necessary for Older Workers
E.Q. is not just for 30-somethings in the workplace.
The problem is not just in new workers--it's true for some seasoned executives as well. In the world of the 1960s and 1970s, people got ahead by going to the right schools and doing well there. But the world is full of well-trained, once-promising men and women who have plateaued in their careers--or worse, derailed--because of crucial gaps in emotional intelligence.

Working With Emotional Intelligence
- Establish yourself as not only a subject expert, but an inter-personally skilled leader, and you could be gaining powerful insurance to not only maintain your job, but elevate yourself to new heights of visibility.
- Be a continuous learner- sign up for classes, training and ongoing opportunities to improve your skills
- Volunteer for in-house committees or projects to stay in the loop of activity
