Observation of learning or success at work reveals that growth can be typically fitted on an S-Curve. Success is achieved when goals are defined, objectives framed, suitable action focused with the right attitude, coupled with sufficient intelligence and tremendous motivation to achieve the intended goal. The key to emotional scores are primarily: understanding one's own emotions, other's emotions and acting responsibly, after taking into consideration both. All one has to do is recognize the skills that are required and work on them with a passion to incorporate them into one's personality such that one becomes gregarious, outgoing and an effective communicator.

 
 
 

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.
