Hiring and Promoting Emotional Intelligence
Especially noticeable at senior executive levels, emotional intelligence competencies have been shown to increase results by 85% more than IQ or technical expertise.
Studies have shown it typically takes an IQ of 110-120 to get an advanced degree like an MBA which focuses primarily on left brain cognitive abilities. There is a high selection pressure for IQ to enter the executive ranks and relatively little variation among those who are in those ranks. On the other hand there has been little or no selection pressure when it comes to emotional intelligence. And so there is a much wider range of EI variation among executives. That lets superiority in these capabilities count far more than IQ when it comes to senior leadership performance. Emotional intelligence contributes 80-90% or more of the competencies that distinguish outstanding from average leaders. Within companies actively engaged in organizational transformation such as Apple, Southwest Airlines and Whole Foods, emotional intelligence has become a key hiring and promotional consideration.

Re: looking for experienced affiliate feedback
- Hi Nancy,
Hiring an experienced firm to market and sell your products is certainly a viable option. It all depends on whether you want to spend more of your time or money. Hiring a firm is going to cost a good bit I imagine. On the flip side, to do most of the work yourself and attract affiliates to sell your products for you will require much less money but a lot more time and effort.
Do you have a budget to work within? Or perhaps maybe you have a loan to get things moving?
Re: How do we increase membership here?
- Promoting the heck out of it is really the best way to increase the membership. Evan and his team should be promoting it as much as possible. Us moderators and other members can help too by spreading the word about it anywhere we can.
Re: Search Engine Optimization
- Hi Thomas,
So what would you recommend? Hiring an SEO expert or simply trying your hand at doing it yourself?

I would suggest learning it on your own. The internet is evolving daily but can you guarantee a hired SEO expert is. The more you learn, the more creative ideas you have when optimizing your sites. An SEO expert might specialize in one aspect, where you have a chance to take SEO to the next level when you dig deep within yourself and branch out to all aspects.
But if you do hire someone make sure you get a credible resource on your side.
