I really do believe that we can all benefit from working on our Emotional Intelligence. Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is a better predictor of success than IQ. In fact, there is some evidence that above a certain level, higher IQ counter indicates professional success. I’m sure that we all know some intelligent people who can’t relate well to people. I like the way that this book describes EQ in terms of self-awareness, self-management (self-regulation), social awareness and relationship management. This book will help you understand where your emotional intelligence is and what you can do to develop it.

These virtual organizations provide better systems and visibility than the old monolithic organizations. Better systems with lower costs. If you outsource your logistics operations to a third par
