High EQ is directly linked to performance

To be a highly effective person is to demonstrate the competencies measured by the EQ-i 2.0. These competencies are highly correlated with the ability to provide inspirational leadership; the ability to provide outstanding customer service; the ability to be an excellent team member; and the ability to be a leading salesperson – all the elements of business that are based on human interaction. Why not just say “people skills”? We could, but we now know so much more than that, but if you’re more comfortable with “people skills” – then we won’t stop you. However, we now know that each and every one of the competencies related to demonstrating highly effective people skills is related to one’s ability with emotions – one’s own and the emotions of others.
