The Top 10 Emotionally-Intelligent Fortune 500 CEOs

What do the most successful CEO’s have in common which distinguishes them from the others, it’s EI (Emotional Intelligence) Which is understanding other people emotions very well, and It is why they have the best workforce . Here are top-10 CEO,s with high EI

• Jeff Bezos (Amazon.com): With his quirky laugh and self-deprecating style, Bezos doesn't sound like a Fortune 500 CEO and that's probably to his benefit. His obsession with the hearts and minds of his customers and his long-term perspective on relationships

• Warren Buffett (Berkshire Hathaway): "Success in investing  with IQ once you're above the level of 25. Once you have ordinary intelligence, what you need is the temperament to control the urges that get other people into trouble investing."

• Ursula Burns (Xerox): In tandem with Anne Mulcahy who moved up to Chair, Burns transitioned to CEO as the first woman-to-woman CEO leadership transition in a Fortune 500 company in what has become a pivotal case study in organizational development. 

Jamie Dimon (JPMorgan Chase): At Harvard Business School, Dimon said: "You all know about IQ and EQ. Your IQ's are all high enough for you to be very successful, but where people often fall short is on the EQ. It's something you develop over time. A lot of management skills are EQ, because management is all about how people function."

• John Donahoe (eBay): Donahoe inherited a difficult situation from Meg Whitman with the need to truly alter the company's business strategy. 

• Larry Fink (BlackRock): Called "psychologically astute" in a Vanity fair feature article, Fink created the largest money-management firm in the world based upon self-reflection, teamwork and direct communication.


• Alan Mulally (Ford): Walk around Ford's corporate campus and you will see office cubes featuring handwritten notes that Mulally sent to employees... praising their work

• Indra Nooyi (Pepsi): Nooyi is a conscious capitalist whose "Performance with purpose" agenda has helped move employees from having a job to living a calling.




• Howard Schultz (Starbucks): He says that the main reason he came back was "Love": for the company and its people.



• Kent Thiry (DaVita): Leaders with high EI/EQ create culture-driven organizations that perform at their peak due to the power of mission and teamwork.
