“Wow, they would walk through a brick wall for that guy!” I’ve heard this sentence a few times in my career, spoken about great leaders I have known and respected.

Over the past couple of years, I've been in one yoga class or another five or six days a week on average. That might sound like a lot, but it's pretty much the only form of exercise I do anymore so it's a good way for me to keep the lights on.

What makes a good leader — IQ or emotional intelligence? That’s the question asked by Limaro Ferro Vaz of Headrush, and it’s not a new one. People have been debating IQ versus emotional intelligence in leadership for years. As Limaro shares, “It was Daniel Goleman who first brought the term ‘emotional intelligence’ to a wide audience with his 1995 book of that name, and it was he who first applied the concept to business with his 1998 Harvard Business Review article.
