But after years of research, an Adelaide businessman is proposing radical new means for assessing that potential. The Power of the Emotional Quotient by Brett Williams Millionaire businessman, James Salerno, wants to revolutionize the South Australia Police Department. He says he can do it by creating a police force of emotionally stable employees.
Academic ability is one aspect of the human qualities, of which there are many.
We have been led to believe in society that I.Q. is a measure of the person. Salerno sees this apparent focus on I.Q. as misguided, and suggests that it favours only about 3 per cent of the population. The remainder, he believes, are regarded largely as less able to succeed. For over a decade, Salerno, a war veteran, has been developing a concept known as E.Q. - Emotional Quotient. He perceived the war as the worst possible environment which human beings could create.
