Emotional Quotient For Leadership Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

E.Q. is the scale based on mind;
I.Q. is the scale based on brain.
Both are more hereditary than acquired.
I.Q. is needed to accomplish things.
E.Q. is needed to deal with humans.
Education can sharpen one's I.Q..
Interaction can better one's E.Q.
E.Q. demands no high level learning.

To be a leader, to be a ruler
Or to be a successful business man
A high level E.Q.is the prime need.
To lead a team, to captain a crew
Or to run any organization
A high level E.Q is pronounced.
I.Q. can earn you a good position.
E.Q. must you have to retain it.

Leaders are born and not made; the one made
Would help the body lose its fabrics.
A drop out can employ many managers.
To risk and not to shirk responsibilities,
To have a tough mind in adversities
And to be fearless to face opponents
Are the basic straits for a peak E.Q

An M.B.A. will not earn you
Any leadership quality
Unless you are well supported
By a high level E.Q., ho.
Indira Gandhi was not good
In study but with high E.Q.
Ruled India with iron hand.
Her son Rajive wasn't a leader.
