EQ Is the OS: Leading with Emotional Intelligence in an AI World
'Be more strategic' is one of the most common pieces of feedback leaders get. It's also one of the vaguest.
Most high performers don't get passed over because of what they know. They get passed over because of how they lead. In this episode, Dr. Bushra Khan makes the case that emotional intelligence isn't a soft skill, it's the strategic operating system every leader needs right now, especially as AI reshapes what work looks like.
Key takeaways:
- Why 'be more strategic' on a performance review usually means something specific and fixable.
- How influence actually works in the brain, and why title alone won't get people to go above and beyond.
- A concrete KPI approach for measuring emotional intelligence that most organizations aren't tracking yet.
