What does a 15th century blackmailer have to teach us about emotional intelligence?

Writer's picture: Zach StoneZach Stone


Emotional intelligence (EQ) is the ability to understand, manage, and use emotions effectively—both your own and those of others. It involves five key skills: self-awareness, self-regulation, empathy, social skills, and motivation. Think of it as the “human” side of intelligence that helps you navigate relationships and communication.


In business, EQ is a game-changer. Why? Because success isn’t just about technical skills or IQ; it’s about how well you connect with people. Leaders with high EQ inspire teams, handle conflicts gracefully, and foster collaboration. Employees with strong EQ can adapt to change, respond constructively to feedback, and build meaningful relationships.


Beyond individual growth, emotional intelligence fuels a healthier workplace culture, improves customer interactions, and can even drive better decision-making under pressure. Simply put, EQ is the secret ingredient that transforms a workplace from good to great.
