There are three great pieces of empirical evidence that amplify this reality about 21st century leadership.

And, yet, in 2010, less than 10% of the training and development dollars spent by America's corporations went toward emotional intelligence or literacy training (often called 'soft skills'). We know it's important and, yet, we seem to be reluctant in investing in the skills to help our executives become Chief Emotions Officers."
