“A leader's intelligence has to have a strong emotional component. They has to have high levels of self-awareness, maturity and self-control. They must be able to withstand the heat, handle setbacks and when those lucky moments arise, enjoy success with equal parts of joy and humility. No doubt emotional intelligence is more rare than book smarts, but my experience says it is actually more important in the making of a leader. You just can't ignore it.”
Jack WelchChairman of General Electric (Wall Street Journal)
