“Effective leaders are alike in one crucial way: They all have a high degree of what has come to be known as emotional intelligence. It’s not that IQ and technical skills are irrelevant.

But my research, along with other recent studies, clearly shows that emotional intelligence is the sine qua non of leadership.”
