EQ vs IQ: Why You Need Both
Emotional Intelligence is widely recognized as a critical competency for effective leadership. Known by its shorthand “EQ,” the term is now firmly planted in our business lexicon. The concept of EQ underscores the fact that intelligence and subject matter expertise are merely starting points for leadership development.

Understanding & Apply EQ
Daniel Goleman’s Theory of Emotional Intelligence is the foundation of Inforum’s flagship program Executive Leadership.
