Research by Dan Goleman, the author and psychologist who introduced emotional intelligence to management thinking, has shown that EQ is a more powerful determinant of good leadership than technical competence, IQ, or vision. It is now one of the crucial criteria in hiring and promotion processes, performance evaluations, and professional development courses. And it's not innate—it's a skill that all of us can improve upon.
