n today’s workplace, organizations consist of employees spanning four generations. The U.S. has about 75 million millennials—people ages 18 to 34—and this year they are projected to surpass baby boomers and become the single largest segment of the American workforce, according to the Pew Research Center.

As savvy employers know, each generation prefers different leadership styles and has distinct attitudes, behaviors, habits and motivations that drive them. The Problem These differences can trigger issues in the workplace, which can include miscommunication, conflict, lack of ability to build strong, cohesive, effective teams, and loss of work productivity. This can result in lack of job satisfaction, burnout and high employee turnover. An Answer Fortunately, organizational leaders and managers are realizing the importance that emotional intelligence (EI) plays in many workplace situations as a predictor of success. EI is a measure of someone’s ability to understand his or her own emotions and their effects, as well as those of other people. It also helps people read the current in the environment and it provides tools to help the generations more effectively address and engage with each other.

Companies Seek EI Employees who have social skills, are self-aware, can self-regulate, motivate and empathize can work well with others and be effective in leading change and resolving conflict. That could be why more than one-third of hiring managers surveyed say they are placing greater emphasis on EI when hiring and promoting employees. To help employees—regardless of their age—reach their full potential by assessing and building on their EI, more and more, leaders, managers and human resource executives hire or contract with industrial and organizational (I-O) psychologists. Essentially at the intersection of business and psychology, I-O psychologists apply research that is improving the well-being and productivity of people. A critical element of an I-O psychologist’s work is enhancing and developing EI, which, unlike IQ, can be cultivated and expanded. -(NAPSI)
Art Collecting Like The Pros
W
hether you are a collector of vintage memorabilia or are interested in collecting fine art, Miller Gaffney and Carol Lee Brosseau know a few pointers that can help you pick the treasures from the junk. They are two of the country’s top art advisors and are starring in their own TV series called “Art Breakers” on Ovation TV. “There’s a real process to collecting art and it’s not just for millionaires,” notes Gaffney. “With collecting, very few people have confidence in their own vision. As art advisors, we demystify art so you’re not afraid of it.” “Collecting is intensely personal,” continues Brosseau. “You should buy what you love, but do your homework and research artists, their careers, their exhibition history, and their auction market presence. Seek professional assistance and advice before you buy because you can make a costly mistake.” Collecting is a passion and can be a lot of fun—just take precautions and remember these five helpful tips: 1. Have a focus and theme. Are you interested in contemporary art? Maybe you have a particular interest in photography. Pinpoint your tastes and
identify your preferences. 2. Educate yourself and form your taste. Go to museums and train your eye to see the difference between good and indifferent quality. 3. Buy the best pieces from the artists you like. The best pieces available will likely only increase in value, making your collection worth more over time. Choose quality over quantity. 4. Work with reputable and knowledgable advisors who can help you make decisions about pieces. Their insight and experience can prove invaluable when navigating what to buy and what price to pay. 5. Have goals and know your motivation before you buy. Do you want to build an informal creative collection, investment collection, a legacy collection, for pure enjoyment, etc.? For more insight into the world of art collecting, tune in to Ovation TV for the premiere of “Art Breakers” on Sunday, October 4, at 8 p.m. ET. -(NAPSI)
