EQ refers to a skill set that includes an ability to recognize one’s own impulses and moods (self-awareness), the ability to read situations accurately (empathy), and the capacity to respond appropriately depending on the situation (self-control).

Learn why emotional intelligence is hard to maintain at senior levels, and understand the eight most common ego traps and how to avoid them in order to increase leadership effectiveness and EQ.
