Mastering Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is the key to outstanding performance in technical, managerial, professional, leadership and entrepreneurial roles. We all know someone who did not exactly shine at school, but went on to be hugely successful in their chosen careers. The reason is simple: IQ is only one aspect of doing well. Numerous studies have shown that EQ competencies make a highly effective leader. Today’s engineering leaders – from top executives to line managers – must have more than just the right technical skills and IQ. They must possess emotional intelligence. Emotionally intelligent leaders help organizations create competitive advantage through: increased performance, enhanced innovation, effective use of time and resources, improved motivation and teamwork, and restored trust.
