EXERCISE: How to Be an Emotional Moron; A Game of Emotional Intelligence

This exercise/game helps you identify the emotional habits that quietly sabotage trust, learning, and leadership — often without you realizing you’re doing it.

Most workplace conflict isn’t caused by malice or incompetence — it’s caused by emotional blind spots. This game walks you through the behaviors, reactions, and coping strategies that make people difficult to work with, even when they have good intentions. You’ll reflect on how stress, status protection, and unexamined habits show up in your communication and decision-making. The goal isn’t shame or self-flagellation — it’s awareness. Because you can’t change patterns you don’t see, and emotional intelligence starts with honest self-observation. The fun part is that you aren't trying to be emotionally intelligent - you're trying to do exactly the opposite, which is hilarious and illuminating.
