Some experts rank emotional intelligence as one of the most important qualities in a career - as important as intellectual ability or technical skill.

Emotional Intelligence encompasses initiative, empathy, and persuasiveness. It can help make the difference between a leader and a loser. And who has EI by the truckload? Cancers!

You're intuitive and respectful. You're sure of what you want and will stop at nothing to get it.
