Tue May 20 2025
Promoting the right leaders isn’t just about performance, it’s about identifying those with the high levels of emotional intelligence to handle high stakes, high-pressure roles. In his world-first, four-year study, Genos International CEO Dr. Ben Palmer proved that EI 360s reveal the soft skills that traditional assessments alone can’t, and why EI plays a critical role in talent decision making.
‘The Role of Emotional Intelligence in Leadership Succession Management’ soon to be published in the Consulting Psychology Journal, involved 485 aspiring school leaders, but its findings apply to any role that is emotionally laborious. The study uncovered, not everyone has the EI skills needed for senior leadership roles – but can it be developed? Listen to find out.
