“CEOs are hired for their intellect and business expertise - and fired for a lack of emotional intelligence.”
— Daniel Goleman
Simplified Meaning:
People often get big jobs like being the boss of a company because they are smart and good at understanding business. However, if they don't know how to deal with people's feelings or handle relationships well, they might lose their job. Imagine a sports coach who understands all the strategies and plans but can't motivate the players or help them work together as a team. Even if they know a lot about the game, the team won't win, and the coach might get replaced. In the same way, a CEO needs to understand and manage emotions to lead effectively. Knowing how to listen, communicate, and make people feel valued are skills that keep a team or company running smoothly. If someone is in a leadership position, focusing on emotional intelligence can help them be more successful and prevent them from losing their job.
