EI is what differentiates great leaders from so-so ones.
So true. Here's our article specifically about EI for leaders: http://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/newLDR_45.htm

Thank you
EI is important day to day as we are dealing with humans. I agreed the good thing is EI can be developed and I personally think it is more important than IQ. Most successful people have good EI!
Someone who is not particularly emotionally intelligent has to be self motivated to develop those skills.
I think if you're motivated to change because your current behavior isn't giving you the results you want, you're well on you way to increasing your EI skills.
