High-level executives often allow their inflated egos to undermine common sense and smart decision making. According to consultant Jen Shirkani, you can find the remedy for that by tapping into your EQ, or emotional intelligence. She explains how ego-driven leaders can sidestep the eight most dangerous traps that undermine success and learn to heed their EQ instead. Shirkani doesn’t cover new ground, but getAbstract believes that senior executives can benefit from her helpful information and solid advice.

Take-Aways

  • A “360-degree feedback” survey ensures a fair and balanced assessment of the competencies of executives.
  • Effective leaders acknowledge their shortcomings and welcome input; egotistical ones do not.
