How Emotional Intelligence Can Make or Break a Leader—and an Organization
MILWAUKEE, WI (PRWEB) August 21, 2013 -- Business leaders everywhere should be coached in the science and practice of emotional intelligence, according to a new article from Empathia. The reason? This coaching not only makes them more effective leaders but it also boosts the performance of their organizations.
As the article points out, emotional intelligence enhances foundational leadership skills and helps individuals correct personal behaviors that reduce their effectiveness as leaders. Equally important, organizations that are led by individuals with high emotional intelligence are more likely to have higher profitability, above-average productivity and customer loyalty, and reduced employee turnover.

- Personal insights from business leaders who have undergone emotional intelligence coaching.
- Specific, measured impacts of emotional intelligence coaching on one of Empathia's Fortune 500 clients.
