McDonald’s and Emotional Intelligence- a SMARTER Way

McDonald’s: Bottom line performance, emotional intelligence and climate

We can’t depend on individuals coming to work just ‘knowing’ how to manage people. You need to equip your leaders with the skills to actually LEAD people — that’s called Emotional Intelligence.
