I quibble with your stating that you can be a manager without some critical skills. I think the skills defined under the (now defunct) concept of emotional intelligence are vital to being a successful manger. Without empathic skills you can't get anyone, but the most committed employees to perform well. It seems self-evident, but many people I've met including very poor supervisors lack the ability to really put themselves in others' shoes.
- tfigueroa 12y agoI'll quibble with this. There are plenty of managers that wield authoritarianism and plenty of subordinates that yield to it. I'd agree that managers with soft skills perform better, but even the old-school ass-kicking types can still eek out a performance. And even be rewarded by the higher-ups for that attitude.
- alexitosrv 12y agoone question, why do you say that the concept of emotional intelligence went south?
