Emotional Intelligence
“Because emotional intelligence can have such a significant impact on the bottom line, it makes sense that companies would be willing to help employees develop the competencies that contribute to EQ. Self-confidence, self-awareness, self-control, commitment and integrity not only create more successful employees, but also more successful companies.”
    - Shari Caudron, Workforce, July 1999
