Emotional intelligence is one of the Top 10 skills likely to be required to succeed in the Future of Work.

How you manage yourself and your emotions, and the connections you make with others, will enable you to perform higher as a leader. Emotional intelligence goes far beyond the ability to empathise with others but requires you to deeply understand yourself, as a foundation.

This talk is the second in a series of four episodes.
