Lauri:
Your example is very extreme, albeit valid.
EQ will definately provide you with a 'better tool' to manage the situation, though. Learning styles, such as indicated in LSI, are more to the point, as to how we perceive information, communicate it, value it etc. Learning styles will definately have a wide and varied impact in the interaction or interpersonal performance of the group. But I still feel, it's the combined EQ, and not the IQ which gets at the issues. Without the added value of emotion, the process becomes too mechanical, as if we can merely process information, exchange it, manipulate it, but never attach any 'real value' to it!
I had a cat and a dog that were best pals. Perhaps their emotional intelligence understood the values they found in each other, one providing security, the other providing comfort. There was hardly any interference and I won't presume that it was their learning styles that made the relationship work!
The learning style will show us where groups can have barriers, weaknesses or strengths, but I'll take EQ anytime, when it comes to valuing groups, especially leaders in a group setting...! Maybe it's just me.... but I tend to be stubborn that way....!
:O) Joe....
