Avoid this mistake with emotional intelligence (EQ).

Many leaders know EQ is important.

So they learn the definition of it.

Maybe even do an EQ assessment.

But the growth stops there.

👉 Emotional intelligence distinguishes 90% of top performers from their equally skilled peers. (Harvard Business Review)

Leaders who develop their EQ are more likely to…

– Make better decisions when they understand their emotions – Admit their mistakes rather than blaming someone else – Handle conflicts well by understanding others – Build genuine connections with their team – Respond, rather than react to feedback – Manage their impulses

Improving your EQ takes more than a quiz and some light reading.

It takes action.

Putting it into practice…everyday.
