The same is true for our's work
ing lives and the way we lead
them, the way we do
things and get things done. Having said that, it is imperative to
remember that to be successful in life, it is essential to achieve certain set
goals. As we progress further, I would like to share some interesting
anecdotes and incidents that highlight the role of emotional intelligence
in overcoming the flatness of the S curve at the top end.
Simply put, the S curve is a sigmoid curve that depicts the
relationship between any two variable factors. For example, we have the
simple Demand-Price curve showing the principle of diminishing
marginal utility. The name is derived from the typical S shape that the curve
takes. This is so in cases, when as one variable increases, the other
variable decreases proportionately. The initial stage of the curve is flat, the
incline then is steady and rising but as saturation begins, the
incline slows, and at maturity, the curve is flat at the top.
When we take the case of learning or success at work, we
generally observe that growth can be typically fitted on an S-Curve. Learning
and success, is usually a bit slow and gradual at the outset, then
proceeds at a dramatic speed and once a peak is achieved, the curve and
remains steady at the same level or worse, declines. |
