The ICO Model for Personal & Business Success

Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is about being aware of your own feelings, fears and behaviors - and those of others. By regulating these feelings and behaviors in yourself and others, you will use emotions that are appropriate to the situation. It is a simple language that can categorize most underlying motives that drives human behavior.

Behaviors: Actions and reactions in various personal and work scenarios.

Feelings: Emotions that drive these behaviors, affecting productivity and workplace harmony.

Fears: Deep-seated fears that create negative feelings, influencing decision-making and interactions.

Self-Concept: Core beliefs about oneself that impact fears, insecurities, and consequently feelings, behaviors, and outcomes.

Will Schutz

William C. Schutz (December 19, 1925 - November 9, 2002) was an American psychologist and a pioneering figure in the human potential movement, best known for developing the Fundamental Interpersonal Relations Orientation (FIRO) theory, which examines individuals' interpersonal needs across dimensions of inclusion, control, and openness. His work emphasized group dynamics, encounter groups, and personal awareness to foster healthier relationships and organizational behavior, influencing training programs in psychology and management.

Schutz enlisted in the U.S. Navy participating in naval operations and training during the final years of World War II. During his service, he observed interpersonal tensions within military hierarchies, including authority conflicts between officers and enlisted personnel as well as the bonds of camaraderie formed under stress, providing early insights into human behavior in group settings. These experiences shaped his foundational understanding of dynamics like control and inclusion, influencing his later psychological research. During the Korean War in 1952, he was recalled to the U.S. Navy to conduct research on group dynamics and leadership.
