They are two very different ways of being smart, and they're based in different parts of the brain.

If you're smart cognitively, like AI, AI is genius, but that doesn't mean you're going to be good with people.

And I think people who are emotionally intelligent have a different kind of intelligence.

They have the ability to integrate with their cognitive smarts their emotional situation.

And they can do it in a way where they can read other people too.

There are four parts to emotional intelligence.

Do I trust my own thoughts?

The third part is empathy and there are three kinds of empathy.

I think right now there's a bandwagon for AI and I think too many leaders are putting too much faith in it.

Leaders may be forgetting that it's really all about people.

If everyone had an AI system, they still need to be inspired.

They need to be guided.

They need your influence.

To forget that the human element still matters, I think is a huge mistake.
