Respectfully, it's not. Serious businesses take EQ seriously.

  This feels very "no true scotsman" to me. It's accurate if none of the large places I've worked are "serious".

  At best, "serious" businesses (which I take to mean large, successful ones) pretend to take EQ seriously.

    Engaging 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.

      > If anything executives should be straightforward and simple. Except they almost NEVER are, in fact, the most common trait shown by executives is dishonesty.

        Really? That does not sound like an opinion derived from real data.
