Will an emotionally intelligent leader win the 'Game Of Thrones'? by justinwconklin
The EQ Leader: Instilling Passion, Creating Shared Goals, and Building Meaningful Organizations through Emotional Intelligencethe answer is clear. “Most people think ‘emotional intelligence’ is a wonderful character trait,” he explains. “You’re often deemed 'nice,' meaning you’re attuned to reading people and want to understand and help them. The reality is that not all E.I.-savvy people focus on the positive.
Cersei Lannister, much like Littlefinger and many real-world leaders, uses her E.I. skill set to undermine those around her. Stein describes these individuals as “cunning, ego-centric, narcissistic and talented at using and manipulating people.” This is especially true for Cersei, who has proven herself to be an untrustworthy leader – most recently by making a promise she has no intention of fulfilling.
When seeking answers for why someone, especially a leader, would behave in such a way, Stein says: “Typically such people have spent their entire lives pushing people around, which is how they’ve risen to their current ranks.” This explains how Lord Baelish got to be who he is, and it's also how Cersei has spent most of her life – by abusing and manipulating family members and going so far as to murder anyone in her path to power. “She possesses next to zero E.I.
Daenerys, on the other hand, brings her own unique talents to the table: She is a liberator of the downtrodden and oppressed. “She is very modern in her outlook,” Stein observes."This suggests a CEO who would offer team members the opportunity to transform themselves and participate in a new venture.” Another point in her favor is the ability to take new information and adjust her plans accordingly, as with her decision to battle the Night King’s army in the north with Jon Snow.
