EQ
Emotional Intelligence (EQ)
Self-awareness, self-regulation, empathy, and social skill.
Definition
EQ — operationalized by Goleman, Salovey, Mayer, and Bar-On — captures the ability to recognize and manage one's own and others' emotions. It is one of the strongest single predictors of leadership effectiveness and team cohesion.
Example
A leader with EQ 82 paired with a team averaging 55 elevates team performance significantly more than the same leader at EQ 60.
