I heard people with social anxiety usually have this intelligence.

@mjpitche I think it does sometimes happen that an employee pulls the wool over management's eyes. However, management who are emotionally and socially intelligent themselves eventually see through it. I would say true emotional/social intelligence is not separate from integrity. It's the difference between character and personality. @sibzism, I believe that situation and audience can make things harder or easier but not impossible. Honesty empathy begets the same.

It's a shame some of the most valuable, most intelligent, hard working, and skilled employees get passed over in favor of the bubbly, overly positive, bullshit artists who lack any skills other than social. I think social skills are important but that passion and hard work are more important. Who said life was fair though.

@katheryncruz24 totally agreed

Genius.

Umm...none of this is new NOR is it empirically robust in research! Women have been BEING 'emotionally intelligent' for centuries! But emotional intelligence without the right situational correlates and the right responding audience is nothing! (and you cant pick your audience...especially in organisations!) Plus, I read the study about "correlations"...and we all know that correlation does not imply causation...there are other things that can account for that! This is just a new fad!!

Daniel Goleman is a straight up genius, no doubts about it.
