Listen "Why EQ Matters More than IQ for Leaders"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of the Virtual Coach Advantage podcast, Emma and Neela discuss the merits of IQ and EQ. They suggest that, while your intellect may drive the early stages of your career, as you step into leadership roles it's your emotional intelligence which you need to hone.
Emotionally intelligent leaders listen to diverse voices, can empathise with others, and ultimately lead happier teams. So what are the first steps you can take to boost your own EQ?
