Researchers and business experts agree that people with high emotional intelligence (or EQ) are consistently the top-performers in organizations. They’re more resilient and adaptable when things go wrong, and as a result, they’re held in the highest regard by their bosses, co-workers, employees and others. In fact, studies show that your EQ is a better predictor of your professional success than either your IQ or your technical skills.
