Your IQs are all high enough for you to be
very successful,
but where people often fall short is EQ.
A lot of management skills are EQ,
because management is all about how people
function

corporations value high EQ in their staff.
Individual in an organization depend on each other to get their job
done. Thus, individuals should be able
to interact in a productive and positive manner.
Workplace
conflicts are costly. Imagine 2 top-level
management who cannot get on, resulting in key decisions are being held up and
time is wasted. Once a person is in a
position of authority, it is less about how good you are technically, but how
well you manage people to collectively contribute to the mission of an
organization.
Managing
people is all about application of one’s emotional intelligence; that is how to
encourage, negotiate, communicate, persuade, empathies, resolve conflicts,
constructively confront and so on. For
the first 5 years of a person’s career it may be good to have a good IQ. To progress beyond that, it is about how well
we manage the complexities of relationships and stress of a modern workplace.
The basis
of emotional intelligence is about knowing yourself first and then also understand
others.
