on continual development as these new employees know that they are

unlikely to stay more than a few years;

2. Tailored Leadership Competencies

The most effective leaders are all alike in one crucial way: they all have a high

degree of what has come to be known as emotional intelligence. It’s not that

IQ and technical skills are irrelevant. They do matter, but…they are the entry-

level requirements for executive positions…

…emotional intelligence is the sine qua non of leadership. Without it, a

person can have the best training in the world, an incisive, analytical mind,

and an endless supply of smart ideas, but he still won’t make a great leader.
