What do you need in a leader — a high IQ, many years of experience, advanced education, the perfect DiSC or Hogan, and a great StrengthsFinder? Research tells us that IQ is the single most significant predictor for job success, but more leaders lose their jobs because of poor people skills than for having a low IQ. Experience is a great teacher – but it has to be the right experience. A leader’s success means dealing with uncertainty, chaos, and unstable situations. Getting along with others, and in particular, owning the obligation to develop the talent of others, play significant roles in engaging others and increasing both capacity and quality of work.
