Thank you for taking your time to read it and providing a nuanced opinion. I have not read it and don't plan to for the next few days as I don't have time. But I will sit with your reflection and refrain from making my own until I read it myself

Christopher Rainey Great point. Why do you think that mindset is difficult for some people at work?

Chris Dreyer Feedback, conflict, and stress are often the clearest tests of emotional intelligence. Thanks for sharing.

Judd Borakove Avoiding difficult conversations usually creates more problems than calm, honest communication. Thanks for sharing.

Titilola Madedor Appreciate that. Leadership always comes back to understanding and managing people well.

I love this! It’s bite sized actions that anyone can (and should) do!

The surface observation around "high EQ" isn't the primary driver; it's a symptom. The forensic layer underneath this is a structural mechanism problem named Brand Contradiction, where the internal operating model fails to reflect the external promise. I’ve seen this pattern cost companies 15-20% of their annual recurring revenue due to talent churn and eroded client trust. When I audit talent-dense organizations, leadership often focuses on individual "EQ" as a personality trait, overlooking the systemic failure within communication architecture or decision governance. This creates an environment where perceived EQ suffers precisely because the operational systems don't enable it, leading to a Growth Ceiling as talent maxes out against internal friction instead of delivering value. Your business is leaking. You just can't see it from the inside. https://businessforensics.tech/

Gözde Imamoglu EQ becomes real when pressure, conflict, and uncertainty start affecting how people respond. Thanks for sharing.

Matthew P. The ability to stay steady during difficult conversations is often what separates trusted leaders from draining ones. Thanks for sharing.

The Pope compared the unchecked AI race to a modern “Tower of Babel,” warning that technology without morality risks creating an anti-human future disconnected from conscience, truth, and responsibility. Importantly, the Vatican stated this is not opposition to technology itself. The document acknowledges AI’s enormous potential in medicine, science, and education, but argues humanity must guide technology — not become subordinate to it. “The future cannot belong to machines alone. Humanity must remain at the center.” Source:Reuters — May 25, 2026“Quotes from Pope Leo’s document warning of world AI risks”

Jay G. Great point. Which area do you think EQ impacts the most at work today?

Scott Capelin The leaders people trust most are often the ones who bring calm and safety into difficult situations. Thanks for sharing.

Clara Hawking- " But more importantly, it frames schools not merely as places of skill training or workforce preparation, but as central moral institutions responsible for helping society remain human in the digital era." - In final analysis, the genAI problem is a School problem, because higher learning schools are ones which pioneered &further developed genAI, along w. continuing partnership w. industry. Schools have not only played it both ways but ALL WAYS. And from young Marvin Minski at MIT (1960) to elder Marvin Minski (2008) w. patronage of J. Epstein. We have also seen this problem w. schools when they were pushing finance &"get rich quick with finance careers" which created the spirit ending in 2008 crisis in larger economy. 3 MIT economists are said to have been at heart of financial instruments that plummeted the system. Schools been pushing idea among the Youth that life is about innovation &materialism, and nothing else. Their most important objective not social welfare but endowment. This is all final result of secularism, which has completely ousted humanism in today’s world, having been central to educational system. Whether Pope Leo &encyclicals can change this situation for a better world should be everybody’s hope.

Mariia Sazonova Such a good point. Listening without fixing takes real discipline.

this is so binary. meaning is the invariant. it does not matter how you get to ethics and morals. once you have them you are welcome in the room. Others are not welcome! Do not be the person that promotes groups of others ,unless that group has no morals and ethics. That's the invariant not the path...

Mark Igbinedion Teams become more open and resilient when leaders admit mistakes instead of hiding them. Thanks for sharing.

I’m not sure you know what miraculous actually means.

The long-term winners in AI may not be the companies using the most AI, but the ones applying it selectively where the economics genuinely make sense.

Jeremy Springfield while agree with you, you must remember the past (before Trump), the Boeing debacle of the Max jet (and Other Boeing issues). The FAA needs MORE funding, not less to work as intended.
