12 Elements of an Emotionally Intelligent Leader

Professor Daniel Cole published his game changing book, Emotional Intelligence, in 1995, which allowed many to develop their emotional intelligence (EQ) to get ahead in life, and not be trapped by the limitations of their raw intelligence (IQ).

It has long been identified to be the #1 predictor of professional success and personal excellence, especially if you are a leader of others. Unlike IQ, it is also widely agreed that EQ is easily learnable and can be improved fairly rapidly.
