Conclusion
I recommend anyone who is interested in increasing their EQ to study and apply the principles contained in the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
Question
A few years ago, the PMBOK Guide recommended that project managers practice the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
Why was this recommendation withdrawn and replaced by Emotional Intelligence?

Dear Luis,
many thanks for the articles and the explanations contained.
As Stephen Covey writes in his books, these principles are not his propriety, they are universal as you also demonstrate.

To answer your question, I would say PMI simply wanted to get with the times.

Dear Stéphane
Thank you for participating in this reflection and for your opinion
Sometimes keeping up with the times is like going backwards
Honestly, it worries me
Dear Luis,
The article is indeed beautifully crafted and correlation is simply perfect.
Referring to the question: In my opinion, As emotional intelligence includes characteristics in addition to these 7 habits, this could be one of the reasons to mention a generic term instead of being more specific to 7 alone.

Luis,
In my opinion, PMI’s focus on EI corresponds to its focus on Leadership as the most important element of a project manager's skill set. In the traditional role of a project manager, you could have a PM who is propped up by a good support team and thus could be lacking in personal “technical project management” and “strategic and business management” skills, but yet is an effective PM due to their leadership competencies.
This formula doesn’t work the other way. If you have a PM who is lacking in leadership competencies but is strong in the other two, you have an ineffective PM. Of course, you want the well-rounded PM who carries the right balance across the entire triad of skills, but the point is made – leadership is the most important skill set for a project manager to have.
Now, when you start evaluating leadership competencies, you can use the same approach to determine the most important elements. When you do this, in my opinion, you recognize that you cannot have an effective leader unless they are emotionally intelligent, that is, they carry the personal competencies of 1) self-awareness, 2) self-regulation, and 3) self-motivation, and then additionally have the emotional competencies of 4) empathy, and social skills.
With this backdrop of understanding, I think it's quite appropriate for EI to be the primary focus!
Dear Luis,
I would like to see which of the seven habits requires the least amount of work but generates the greatest amount in return. Also I would not see that each of the seven habits would be required in equal measure for highly effective people. Have you rated them 1-7 from most essential to least essential?
To make an attempt at your question about why the seven habits was replaced with Emotional Intelligence I would say that EI is inward looking outward while seven habits is outward looking in. EI is about starting with yourself and as a result the behaviour of those around should come into line with your thinking. Seven habits is more about ybe our environment. Something that you can not always changed. Also seven habits is about interpersonal relationships while EI is about your own relationship with yourself and how that guides how you deal with other people.

Bravo Luis, I have not correlated the similarities between the Habits of Highly Effective People with Emotion Intelligence until now. I wonder if both principles can be placed in the same graphic, although that might have too much going on and lose focus...

Dear Syed
Thank you for participating in this reflection and for your opinion
You wrote: "As emotional intelligence includes characteristics in addition to these 7 habits, this could be one of the reasons to mention a generic term instead of being more specific to 7 alone"
In your opinion what are these characteristics?

Dear George
Thank you for participating in this reflection and for your opinion
Emotional intelligence is a necessary but not sufficient condition to lead
And, you can develop Emotional Intelligence by practicing the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
When PMI refers to Emotional Intelligence it does not refer specifically to Leadership (IE is used in interpersonal relationships)

Dear Daire
Thank you for participating in this reflection and for your opinion
None of the habits are more important than the others
Did you read the blog post I wrote about the 7 habits of highly effective people?
There are 3 habits that we have to practice to move from the state of dependence to independence
1. Be proactive
2. Begin with the end in mind
3. First things first
These three habits are about us
3 other habits to move from independence to interdependence
4 - Think win-win
5 - Seek first to understand, then to be understood
6- Synergize
It is only possible to be interdependent if we are independent
And Habit 7 is the habit of renewal (continuous improvement in the practice of 6 habits)

Dear Jeremy
Thank you for participating in this reflection and for your opinion
I also recently discovered this relationship between Emotional Intelligence and the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
By practicing the 7 Habits, you will know that you are developing Emotional Intelligence
What prevents you from using both frames?
Jeremy Dacuycuy
Senior Project Manager| UC Davis Health
Sacramento, Ca, United States
Laziness is the 1st reason I can think of that would prevent one from using both frames. It’s unnatural for most of us to do all these items. So mindfully practicing these behaviors will reinforce us to make these as habits and ultimately become part of our core value.

Dear Jeremy
Thank you for sharing your opinion with us
We can define habit as the sum of knowledge (what it is; why), knowing how to do (how) and Desiring to do (wanting)

Hello Luis: Thanks for this post. I am a firm believer in excellence in leadership and all the items you listed above are very important. I liked what George had to say about how these competencies are really requirements to be an effective leader/PM. To me, these are the best in class leadership qualities whether you call them elements, skills, habits, competencies or emotional intelligence and I think that is why the PMBOK moved it all under EI- it all means the same thing.

Dear Lori
Thank you for participating in this reflection and for your opinion
Interestingly I think that the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People in addition to helping to develop Emotional Intelligence are more comprehensive
(Of course, this is my opinion.
As you can read in the two previous articles I had to study and reflect on the topic)
Thanks for the post. What would be an approach to practice the 7 habits? I don't remember that info to be in the PMBOK, interesting. What about v. seventh? Cheers
LB, many congratulations on your reflection. It is indeed an in-depth analysis that makes a lot of sense. It is easier and we become more complete when we live the 7 habits as project managers.

Dear Luis,
Thank you for explaining EQ diligently! I suggest to be more specific on Self Regulation and it's correlationship with habit 3 & 7. Is it first things first without assessing priority. What does Sharpen the saw; growth imply? I thought self regulation would be more likely controlling good or bad behavior at your own.
This is just my opinion.
