CEOS ON AVERAGE HAVE THE LOWEST EQ

“CEOs, on average, have the lowest EQ scores in the workplace.”
However, CEOs with the highest EQ scores outperform their low EQ colleagues. Emotional Intelligence 2.0
when someone says you're adversarial don't say no I'm not ask what do you mean


4 ways to elevate EQ for leaders:

#1. Embrace the genius of ‘and’.
Be tough and emotionally intelligent. Don’t choose between tough leadership and emotional intelligence. 
  1. Reflect on your feelings and the feelings of others. 
  2. Express empathy and high expectations.
  3. Believe in relationships and results.
  4. Give support and challenge.
  5. Enjoy power and give it away.
  6. Celebrate wins and set new goals.
  7. Make tough decisions and remain compassionate.
  8. Use ritual for stability and force yourself into new experiences.
  9. Apologize with humility and press forward with confidence.
  10. Express what you really want and stay open to others.
#2. Believe negative feedback.
One symptom of low emotional intelligence is discounting negative feedback regarding low EQ.
When someone says you’re adversarial, don’t say, “No I’m not.” Ask, “What do you mean?”
#3. Set emotional targets.
  1. Ask yourself how you want your team to feel during the next meeting you lead. Perhaps you want the team to feel respected for their work and urgent about meeting the next deadline.
  2. List behavioral options that might produce feelings of respect and urgency.
  3. Ask high EQ team members for suggestions.
  4. Explore how the team might interact with each other to produce feelings of respect and urgency.
  5. Chart your path forward for the next meeting.
  6. Evaluate emotional results. Explain to the team that you want them to feel respected and urgent. You might ask what you did that worked well and what could be better next time.
  7. Adapt and execute at the next meeting.
#4. Seek input from high EQ people.
Leaders I work with often find greater success by strengthening their EQ muscle.
How might leaders increase the emotional intelligence?

[15] Bitcoin was introduced on 31 October 2008 to a cryptography mailing list, [16] and released as open-source software in 2009. [17] There have been various claims and speculation concerning the identity of Nakamoto, none of which are confirmed. [15] The system is peer-to-peer and transactions take place between users directly, without an intermediary. [14] :4 These transactions are verified by network nodes and recorded in a public distributed ledger called the blockchain , [18] which uses bitcoin as its unit of account . Since the system works without a central repository or single administrator, the U.S. Treasury categorizes bitcoin as a decentralized virtual currency . [11] Bitcoin is often called the first cryptocurrency, [19] [20] [21] although prior systems existed [note 4] and it is more correctly descr...

HOW TO STUMBLE FORWARD WITH BOLDNESS AND FIND SUCCESS

An infant watches others walk and learns that walking is possible. But success calls you to turn possibility into reality by stumbling forward. Others may have stepped out already, but it’s still the unknown for everyone who hasn’t done it before. It feels like letting go and stumbling forward. Stumbling forward: Some live life according to plan. In some ways I admire them. But I wonder how you can even imagine the possibilities until you’ve climbed the hill in front of you and spied new terrain? Writing Leadership Freak began with stumbling. I had no idea what the heck I was doing. I’d never written anything beyond papers in school. Now I serve leaders all over the world. Stumbling forward changed my life. An opportunity to stumble forward: A college student approached me with an offer to start a Leadership Freak podcast. I’m stumbling forward with him. He doesn’t know it, but he’s suggesting things I’ve rejected in the past. I don’t write about current events, for example. He thinks ...
