The power of EQ
Despite popular misconceptions, EQ will always be more important to success than IQ.
IQ – cognitive intelligence will only ever get you so far. It is important and most highly successful people have above average intelligence. But above average cognitive intelligence is neither necessary nor enough.
EQ – emotional intelligence is the key to real success, particularly in business. There are many successful business people with only moderate cognitive intelligence and very high emotional intelligence.
Research suggests that the critical components of emotional intelligence are:
- Self-awareness
- Managing emotions
- Motivation
- Empathy
- Social skills
Fortunately emotional intelligence can be developed. All of these skills can be developed. Indeed, if you are going to develop a strong and successful personal brand, they need to be developed.
