4 Qs to Succeed
– Musings of Dr. Jamie C. Hsu, 1.7.2018
Mastery of the 4 Qs will make you a successful leader, valuable partner, great friend, and wonderful family member. Let’s take a look at the essential 4 Qs:
IQ: Intelligence Quotient measures our cognitive ability and other elements of intelligence. A high IQ gives you an automatic advantage. You seem to understand and grasp ideas and new concepts faster than others. You can solve problems and develop creative solutions better than others. Lucky for you.
EQ: Emotion Quotient is the ability to be aware of your own emotions and manage it under various situations. A good example is the child who can control his urge to eat candies in order to get more at a later time; or a person who can put aside her own anguish to help others. A person with high EQ is also more attuned to others’ emotions and has a better ability to handle conflicts.
CQ: Culture Quotient is the sensitivity to the culture of people and environment surrounding us. Culture is not just about nationality or ethnicity. It is also found in different professions, businesses, and even in circles of friends. A good leader and team member needs to be conscious of others’ feelings, cultural background, and idiosyncrasies in order to motivate and inspire them.
WQ: Work Quotient measures one’s ethics and attitude toward work. It is necessary for all successful people. Such leader is willing to work harder than others to accomplish a task. She is a doer, not just a talker. And she is the one others can count on and look up to.
You probably can think of many bosses who are smart and work hard to establish the business. But as the business expands and grows, his EQ and CQ begin to play more significant roles in managing his employees, suppliers, and customers. Unfortunately, many bosses fall short of these two attributes and can’t transform into a great leader. This is also true in our personal lives. In dealing with family members and friends, EQ and CQ probably play a greater role than IQ and WQ.
Please take a look at the people around you. You will see different Qs in play that shape people’s personalities, careers, and lives. I hope you are applying the 4 Qs properly to achieve success.
成功需要4商數

掌握’4商’, 將讓你成為一個成功的領導者、有價值的合作夥伴、很棒的朋友、以及超讚的家庭成員。讓我們一起來看看這四個關鍵”商數”：
智商(IQ)：智慧商數測量我們的認知能力及其他智力元素。高智商給你有別於他人的優勢；你會覺得比別人能更快理解及掌握想法和新的概念；可以更好更快地解決問題並提出具創意的解決方案。這樣的你是個幸運兒。
情商(EQ)：情緒商數是能夠在各種情況下意識到自己的情緒，並且進行管理的能力。舉個例子, 像有些小朋友，能克制自己不吃糖果， 然候得到更好的獎赏；或者是某种人，能放下自身痛苦來专心幫助別人。高情商的人比較容易識別他人的情緒、也有比較好的能力處理衝突情況。
人商(CQ)：人文商數是對我們周遭的人及文化意識的敏感程度。文化不僅僅是存在國家或民族中。在不同的專長、企業、甚至朋友圈中，都可以找到不同的文化。一個好的領導者或團隊成員需要意識到他人的感受、文化背景及特質，並用來激勵他們。
勤商(WQ)：勤劳商數是衡量我們的工作理念及態度。這是所有成功人士的必備條件。這樣的領導者會願意比別人更努力地完成任務。這樣的人會是個實踐家、而不是個光說不練的人；而且是他人可以信賴、仰望的人。
你可能會聯想到很多大老闆，他們都很聰明且辛勤工作去創造事業。但隨著事業擴大發展，他們的情商(EQ)及人商(CQ)應該会在管理員工、应对供應商以及客戶方面，開始發揮更重要的作用。很可惜的是，有許多老闆缺乏這兩個特質，以至於無法轉變成一個很好的領導者。在我們自己的生活中也是如此。在跟家人、朋友打交道時，情商(EQ)及人商(CQ)可能比智商(IQ)和勤商(WQ)要來得更有用更重要。
请仔細看看你周圍的人，你會看到不同的”商數”所塑造出來不同的個性、職業，及生活。希望我們都能正確地運用4商來踏入成功之道。
