Why EQ Matters More Than IQ

DAY 7: 90 Days. 90 Sparks.

Leadership isn’t just about what you know.
It’s about how you show up — especially when the pressure’s on.

You could have the sharpest mind in the room.
But if you can’t read the room, manage your emotions, or respond with empathy, you’ll struggle to lead well.

Emotional Quotient (EQ) is what helps you stay grounded.
It’s what helps you listen before reacting.
It’s what turns conflict into connection.

And it’s not a soft skill.
It’s a core leadership skill.

Because people won’t remember how quickly you solved a problem.
They’ll remember how you made them feel while doing it.

Today’s Spark:
The strongest leaders lead with their heart — not just their head.
