Data collected from thousands of the world's best leaders—and their subordinates—reveals the keys to success: authenticity, coaching, insight, and innovation. By incorporating these methods into their everyday workflow, these leaders have propelled their teams to heights great enough to highlight the divide between successful and not-so-successful leadership. This book shows you how to put these key factors to work in your own practice, with clear examples and concrete steps for improving skills and competencies.

The decisions this person made were often more about self than about what was best for their company and changing your mind was perceived as unbearable weakness. This type of leader feared looking bad as much as he or she feared doing bad.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eForward-thinking leaders are more concerned with success than with other people's opinion about them. They are driven by the future and opportunities, not by the past or ego. Worrying about looking good, being consistent, or keeping the status quo were yesterday's virtues, but today's kiss of death. Successful leaders put their egos behind their missions, move forward with the times, and aren't afraid to alter their positions as necessary. \u003ci\u003eThe EQ Leader\u003c\/i\u003e provides step-by-step guidance for leading from within this space, with evidence-based approaches for success.     \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTHE KEY FACTORS THAT PROPEL LEADERS TO SUCCESS\u003c\/b\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn organization's success rests on the ability of its leaders.
