Professor Howard Gardner at the Harvard University developed the revolutionary concept of multiple intelligences. Traditional training caters almost exclusively to the first two intelligences. However, jobs demand other types of intelligence. You need emotional intelligence with self-awareness, impulse control, persistence, motivation, and empathy. The principles and procedures related to emotional intelligence are best learned by experiencing these factors and analyzing their impact.
Traditional training fails miserably to sharpen our emotional intelligence.
Experiential and interactive approaches are obvious strategies of choice. But decades of research studies endorse games, simulations, and other experiential activities that use of different types of intelligence.
