intelligence by job title as you move up the corporate ladder we find that emotional intelligence goes up once you move to director level and above and certainly as you reach the SE Suite it's a ski slope it's a black diamond it's a double black diamond actually on the way down there well why is this because the other thing we find is that within each of these job titles the best performers of those with the highest level of emotional intelligence so even though CEOs have the lowest emotional intelligence in the workforce the top performing CEOs are those with the highest eqs interactive okay by the same token what percentage of top performers are high in EQ 30 I wouldn't have a job if it was 30 Bingo 90 very good there's a floor mic there and I'd really love to hear your questions this is honestly the best part of every one of these sessions I do is getting to hear how this material sort of triggers challenges in people's minds as it relates to uh applying this in their work Dr Travis Bradberry is Unforgettable call now to see if this award-winning number one best-selling author is available to speak to your group
