But don't forget the very worthy position that there are many different kinds of intelligence. Hmm, forgot about this post, didn't think i'd mentioned Howard Gardner again so recently:
Good job - ""Google did a good job..." he said."
"With 5 Words, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella Made a Stunning Admission. It's a Lesson in Leadership In the Google antitrust lawsuit, Nadella acknowledges that some Google products are superior." [...] A lesson in leadership and emotional intelligence P - Nadella's testimony is a lesson in leadership, emotional intelligence, and self-control. By refusing to use up time and the judge's attention defending the quality of Microsoft products, he kept the focus on the question at hand: Whether Google's agreements with mobile providers to be the default search engine on their devices create an unfair advantage no competitor can overcome--the allegation that the Justice Department is trying to prove against Google.

Three examples illustrate the importance of emotional competencies.
