Emotional Intelligence:

Viewed from the Perspective of

The Knowledge of Wisdom

By

Peter Anyebe

0.00 Preamble

We have worked at Agape

Consultants, Gboko in the last 28

years between January of 1988 and

August of 2015; to derive the basis

for the management of the human

resource, HR that is precise; like

engineering, architecture, and

accountancy, which is HRs nearest

neighbor. Thus it would be possible

to derive a handful of metrics, which

objectively describe people, C organizations, ROI and the business environment, EB.

And this would be done within another handful of principles that clearly describe

these three, 3 concepts. In this case, we sought to put the right workforce, C in the

right environment, EB delivering profitable business results, ROI. The following two,

2 challenges were kernel, and needed to be surmounted:

To turn what we know, into what we do

To turn value, into wealth

While the first, 1st challenge describes learning, the second, 2

nd describes wisdom.

To be learned, it would be sufficient that the intellect is astute. Wisdom however

goes beyond this, being inclusive of it, to involve the management of our feelings.

Recall the difficulty that has plagued the

attempt to correlate the intelligence

quotient, IQ with success. An important

ingredient in this relationship would be

the emotionality quotient, EQ. For

optimum success therefore, both

quotients would have to be optimum; an

omelet of the best from the west,

including objectivity and simplicity; and

the best from the east, which include

neutrality and self-control. Which

omelet has been made in Africa to

optimize the intellect, to focus our

feelings, for purpose attainment.

Quantum Physics would appear to have

resolved the dilemma with the IQ. Thus

the intellect would be sufficiently astute

when it reconstructs reality, adequately. Thanks to Plato, Einstein, Feynman, and

Hawking. But for feelings to be focused, psychology has waited for phenomenology,

to resolve the dilemma with emotions. This is a content that has been commonly

classed as metaphysics, being transcendental. And the most accurate information in

this regard has been the exclusive preserve of the east, which has had the courage to

invade this aspect of knowledge. The methodological difficulties that caused these

limitations are however being resolved. In general, humanity has been perturbed with

the following three, 3 dilemmas:

Time,

Space, and

Events

Thanks to Carlos Slim for popularizing the cell phone or GSM. Given the

appropriate network, it would be possible to connect with any person, anywhere in

the universe, instantaneously. This brings time into the control of humans in a way

that minimizes the perturbation that it causes the psyche. Bill Gates has also

commoditized the computer, to minimize the dilemma with space. Little memory

chips are able to hold vast amounts of information, which would otherwise have been

impossible to store, for the lack of space. Progress in these two, 2 areas have been

possible with the industrial and information revolutions. The resolution of the events

dilemma has awaited the knowledge revolution.

The industrial revolution exposed the human propensity to generate waste. This was

noted by Six Sigma, 6, which suggested the process as solution. The information

revolution put flesh to this suggestion when the fact, was recognized as the unit of

information. Thus the typical process would include a series of facts. The knowledge

revolution would be expected to limit, not only the choice of, but also the number of

facts, Nu that would reasonably outline a process. This would be achieved by the

knowledge of wisdom, which is at once inclusive of intellectual astuteness, F

emotional stability, A as well as focused feelings, L for A = LF2. The following four,

4 principles work together in series, for this purpose:

3. Objectivity, f0

2. Neutrality, NtY

1. Self-Control, ScR

4. Simplicity, SpY

1.00 Objectivity

Following Einsteins relativity principle, an event in space can be viewed from an

infinite number of positions, each of which would represent a perspective of the

event, uniquely. But by the normality principle in games theory, it would be possible

to reduce a game of infinite moves into one, 1 unit move, which would then be

iterated until the game ends. This principle points to the possibility of finding the

unit perspective of phenomena, despite the infinite number of options that may be

available. The duality series in operations research offers an outline of the unit

perspective, which we have adopted as the natural order, N-O. Serially:

Maxima

Minimax

Maximin

Minima

Recall the Platonian duality principle, following which nature could be reduced into

two, 2 worlds as follows:

The world of forms, L and

The world of objects, A

This requires that a procedure, Fn is derived, for conversions between both worlds,

for L = AFn. The N-O, which is an adaptation of the duality series, provides an

appropriate fundament for the standard procedure series, SPS both of which would

then be analogues. Recall also that Immanuel Kant distinguished between noumena

and phenomena, which would represent the N-O and the personal order, P-O

respectively. Then objectivity, f0 would be evaluated as the extent to which the P-O

approximates the N-O. It is measured on the F-Scale, which is an absolute scale

where the observed is evaluated as a ratio of the expected.

2.00 Neutrality

Neutrality is a concept in which

humans accept being one with the

universe. This is a conception that has

distinguished the western from the

eastern hemispheres to date. While the

west propagated a materialist science

that projected the human ego, to

separate people from the rest of the

universe; the east has persistently

maintained the unity of both, albeit the derogatory reference to this as being

metaphysical. But current research has reduced humanity into an energy system,

which energy is the common factor that permeates the universe. Thus humans

become conduits, who transfer energy from nature where it is stored, to society

where it is needed. In this case, society would be the product of the activities of

humans in nature. People would function in nature, to create civilizations, according

to their understanding of the universe.

This means that the better the universe

is understood, the more sophisticated

would be the civilization. With greater

objectivity therefore, for f0 1,

humans would be more efficient, with

minimum entropy contribution. This

would however be the case only when

f0 is evaluated as a function of

intellect and emotion, for IQ and EQ

respectively.

3.00 Self-Control

When information from the environment

enters the brain via the five, 5 senses, it

first, 1st accesses the limbic lower region

of the brain at the back of the head. Then

it travels upwards into the cortex region

of the fore brain, which is located at the

top of the forehead. But both sections of

the brain possess the capacity to respond

to the stimuli, uniquely. This gives the

emotion the first opportunity for

response, which is illogical and often unstable, according to how it has been

programmed. The intellect is the logical component of the brain, which handles all

the analysis that is required for decision making. It is therefore better positioned for

responses than the emotion, when the correct facts have been learned. Recall that

because of gravity and relativity, the human perception of reality has been observed

to be warped. Ordinarily therefore, it would be impossible to approximate the N-O

exactly. This makes humans fundamentally subjective, and the emotion suspect, with

respect to the appropriateness of responses to stimuli. Until unlearning and

relearning have happened therefore, every stimulus would have to be closely

analyzed, for the appropriate interpretation. The following three, 3 mental memory

spaces have been commonly distinguished:

The conscious memory of the intellect,

The subconscious memory of the emotion, and

The unconscious memory of the will

Then learning begins with desire, which

resides in the emotion. But desire remains

dormant until the will becomes

committed to its fulfillment, according to

which all the energy that is required

would be released. The energy is

expended to derive the procedure for

desire fulfillment, and to resist the

interferences from the vagaries of the environment. The procedure is stored in the

subconscious memory of the emotion, from where it is accessed for responses to

stimuli. When these procedures are standardized, there would be no need for

unlearning and relearning. In this case, the person would have arrived at the level of

unconscious competency. Before then, self-control would be required; to put the

emotion on hold, while the intellect interprets the stimulus.

4.00 Simplicity

Recall the relativity principle and the

infinite number of possible

perspectives of phenomena. This

would mean that there would be an

infinitely possible number of realities, to which any person could subscribe. But like

the normality principle and the perspectives, there would be only one,1 objective

reality for each person. Moreover to define this reality, there would be an infinite

number of possible items from which to choose. But for efficiency and effectiveness,

only a handful of these items would be sufficient, if properly selected according to

the N-O. In this case the four, 4 items that adequately define any reality would be

referred to as the strategic objectives, to give flesh to the principle of the

management by objectives, MBO. Recall the Occam Razor principle, following

which the simplest of several alternative models would be preferred.

Beyond the objective perspectives and realities, the number of metrics that define

phenomena should also only be a handful, for efficiency and effectiveness. Then for

a workforce that would be retainable, RtN it would be sufficient to measure the

following metrics, in series:

3. Self-Containment, ScT

2. Self-Control, ScR

1. Objectivity, f0

4. Retention, RtN

And for the knowledge of

wisdom, the following

principles have been presented in this work to be sufficient, in series:

Learning defined as the capacity to turn what we know into what we do, has been

presented as a function of objectivity and simplicity, which are intellectual. And

wisdom, defined as the capacity to turn value into wealth, would be a function of

neutrality and self-control, which work together to focus our feelings. In general

however, for a precise HR that is able to put the right workforce in the right

environment delivering profitable business results, the following 6-metrics would

be sufficient:

This is actually an objective description of workforce engagement, EnG. And for an

optimized quality human-power resource, HpRQ that functions at the level of

unconscious competence, when procedures have been internalized, it would be

sufficient that the scores on the following metrics are equal:

3. Objectivity, f0 Wisdom

2. Neutrality, NtY 6. Feelings

1. Self-Control, ScR 5. Intellect

4. Simplicity, SpY

ScT = Self-Containment f0 = Objectivity

RtN = Retention

EnG = Engagement

Org-C = Organizational Culture

EB = Business Environment

ScT

Org-C f0 EB

RtN

EnG

3. Self-Containment, ScT

2. Self-Control, ScR

1. Objectivity, f0

4. Retention, RtN

5.00 Concluding

Emotional Intelligence has been

commonly conceptualized to consist

of the following four, 4 skills:

Self-Awareness,

Self-Management,

Social-Awareness, and

Relationship-Management

These are descriptions of personal and social competences that influence learning as

the capacity to turn knowledge into action. For success ultimately however, the

component of wisdom as the capacity to reduce value into wealth would need to be

incorporated. This has been done in this work. Moreover, the omelet of learning and

wisdom makes events predictable. Look at the following quote from the scriptures:

So shall the knowledge of wisdom be to your soul; If you have found it, there is a

prospect, And your hope will not be cut off

Proverbs, 2414
