Being intelligent about your emotions is one of my favourite short definitions of emotional intelligence. Emotions tell us so much useful, honest information, but in order to understand them we have to ‘translate’ them into a language that our logical, thinking brain can understand. Many of us have never learned to be emotionally literate in [...]

A much debated question is what makes the difference between a manager and a leader. As we see it, good managers need intellect or so called traditional intelligence. A cetain amount of IQ, subject specific knowledge and understanding of management systems can produce a good manager. Great leadership taps into a whole different part of [...]
