EQ Answer: The intelligence or the IQ of an executive
leader explains less than 25% of the success that executive leaders
experience while running their organizations. The other 75% to 90% of
their success relies upon their Emotional Intelligence (EI or EQ). You see, every
corporate leader is sharp within his or her chosen field and have good technical expertise. But to move up the corporate ladder you need emotional intelligence as you are more directing, motivating, inspiring, and communicating. These are EI skills which can be learned where you IQ is fixed.
Emotional intelligence is the tipping point where it helps leaders move into the the top 10% and the differentiator in the making of an executive
management Star Performer. Putting your time into your B player to be an A player is more effective than putting time into your C players. When you or your employees are in the top 10% you or them are twice productive to the bottom line.
What Is EI? In simple terms it is Understanding Yourself, Managing yourself, Understsanding others and Managing Others. The gap in the field is how do you raise EI?
Our goal at True North Leadership, Inc. is to provide you tools and programs to raise your EI.
