In a world where knowledge is accessible to everyone thanks to the Internet and AI, the importance of IQ seems to be crumbling and ZQ, self-directed quotient is gaining importance. At least that's what our guest today, Marinka Kuijpers, says.
Marinka Kuijpers is a Noloc Knowledge Professional, special professor Open University and director Career Group, With the Career Group she trains organizations and education in promoting a work environment in which people can truly develop.
We explore how traditional IQ is giving way to ZQ in this episode of the BNR Work Professor. Discover how self-direction, based on personal values, is becoming crucial for career success and how a supportive environment can strengthen ZQ.
We also thought this was great timing for this topic because Career Professional Week is coming up in which Noloc, the professional organization for career professionals is offering free career talks, among other things.
Why do we need ZQ?
In a society where so much is changing, precisely ZQ is important. You must learn to manage yourself in a relationship to that environment in order to have the opportunity to develop yourself at all.
Self-direction has to do with three aspects. Freedom, responsibility and connection to what you want to contribute to. Such as the organization you work for and the people you work with.
Wondering what role you have as a business owner and/or manager in the ZQ of your employees? Listen to the newest episode now!
