Episode 115: Is Your OQ Showing?

Climbing takes more than brains and people skills. Psychologist Daniel Goleman’s research found emotional intelligence explains nearly ninety percent of the gap between star and average senior leaders — yet executives still stall. George Yip and Nelson Phillips named the missing third intelligence OQ, organizational intelligence: making the answer move. Maya and Marcus climb the IQ, EQ, OQ ladder, meet a director whose flawless strategy died in the hallway, and finish with a four-step OQ self-audit you can run this week. Maya and Marcus are AI voices, created with text-to-speech. This show is written and produced by Joe Dutkiewicz of Crayon Leadership. Joe equips mid-senior leaders to think and act two levels up, so they’re recognizable to top leaders and ready for the promotion before it opens.
