It costs a lot of money to replace an employee. In fact, depending on job level and industry it can cost over 30% of an employee’s annual salary to replace them. That number climbs exponentially for highly educated executive level positions and that’s just the monetary costs! Losing a new hire reflects poorly on a company’s Quality of Hire metrics and sends a ripple effect through the recruitment, hiring and management practices of the company.

Over the past few months, I’ve been talking with startups about their businesses. When I ask them to define their target customer, the responses I get are things like “everyone who needs training” or “everyone who uses the Internet.” I hate to be the contrarian, but everyone is not your customer.

Emotionally intelligence, although discussed quiet often, is a largely misunderstood concept. Many believe that when one possesses empathy, one is also emotionally intelligent. However, empathy is only a subset of the larger framework that builds emotional intelligence within people. According to Daniel Goleman , the author who popularized the concept, EQ is the ability to “ recognize, understand, and manage other people’s emotions as well as our own. ” .
