Introduction

Being intellectually smart or an expert is not enough anymore. Research has shown through tracking over 160 high performers across a variety of industries and positions that EQ is twice as significant as intellect and expertise in contributing to outstanding performance.

Indeed, what makes leaders successful is not just their intelligent quotient (IQ), education or even business knowledge. What sets the high performers at senior strategic levels apart from the average is their Emotional Intelligence.

It is with emotional intelligence that senior managers and leaders can effectively lead, motivate and manage themselves and others to higher performance and greater purpose for their organizations.
