barbershop quartet group, or in an orchestral choir; others have mentioned playing music instruments, volunteer work; their activity
<br />in politics, etc.
<br />For example, having experience singing in a choir is a terrific attribute to have if you want a candidate to be an integral part of a
<br />team. One cannot be a 'prima donna' in a choir; one has to be'part of.' Teams fall apart when the issue of dominance Is not
<br />managed.
<br />With the EO-iA ALAYs results, if teamwork was absolutely critical to work performance, I would be looking for a candidate's score,
<br />for example, on Social Responsibility. Social Responsibility not only reflects a candidate's emotional ability to respect the
<br />environment, but also his/her emotional preparedness to be a part of a team.
<br />It's interesting with my students (whether undergraduates or MBA): I can obtain an EQ-iA ALA% Group Report. I look to the Social
<br />Responsibility score and its distribution of scores to find out how team-oriented a new class will be. I also wait until I receive my new
<br />dass' EQ Group Report. Its results on the 15 EQ-iA ALA% competencies tell me what my semester curriculum will be like.
<br />I know, for example, from past experience, that Impulse Control is something we will have to work on. Why? Because (a) my
<br />graduating students, for example, are still young and generally emotionally 'impulsive' about life; (b) our society has what I call'the
<br />Nintendo generation's everything is quick for young people, from e-mail, to cell phones, to cars, etc. Emotionally, we have a
<br />generation and a large segment of society that is quite impatient. Emotionally that can be a powder keg, especially when such an
<br />emotionally impatient person sits behind the wheel of a 3,000 Ib. car travelling at 120 km./hr!
