What you've observed, quite accurately, is that our bar for emotional intelligence when it comes to corporate executives is the same that we expect from ten-year olds.
- throwpoaster 2y agoRespectfully, it's not. Serious businesses take EQ seriously.
- technion 2y agoThis feels very "no true scotsman" to me. It's accurate if none of the large places I've worked are "serious".
- Nectar0516 2y agoAt best, "serious" businesses (which I take to mean large, successful ones) pretend to take EQ seriously.
- throwpoaster 2y agoEngaging with reality as directly as possible is important in business. Emotions are a part of reality, usually a signal about social dynamics. At the higher levels of serious companies — by which I mean ones trying to win in the market, regardless of size - managers and executives regularly receive training about this. I can’t say more because this is my alt, but: “executives are childish”, “executives are psychopaths”, etc. are very common, often incorrect narratives. If anything executives should be straightforward and simple. To return to topic: something is going seriously sideways with Matt, and I wish him the best.
