In order to understand the relationship between emotional intelligence and leadership skills, a telecom company conducted a study with its leaders.
The tool used for this study was the EQ-i and it was shown that 48% of the difference between high and low performing leaders can be attributed to Emotional Intelligence (IE) competencies.
Realizing the importance of IE, they began to integrate this competence into their training and coaching actions.
See the results here Emotional Intelligence and Telecom.
