Why EQ is Better for Business
The research shows only 15% of financial success is from technical ability. This means most of the company focus on high EQ better than high IQ
Increase IQ is no impact, EQ is better for metrics for the success of work.
Breadberry says, “You can be a top performer without emotional intelligence, but the chances are slim.”
