Emotional intelligence has always taken a backseat when compared to a person's IQ. Our system has been built to undervalue the skills of the emotionally intelligent people. But when you look at some of our world's most powerful leaders and change makers, they had one thing in common. They all had high emotional intelligence. In order to create lasting ideas, ask provoking questions and challenge the status quo you have to be able to understand that humanity has multiple experiences every moment.
