Why should leaders increase their Emotional Quotient?

I recently gave a speech on the topic of emotional quotient (also called emotional intelligence) to an audience of over 1,000 people. After my presentation, I went to lunch along with the participants. Sitting at the table just behind me were two women who struck up a conversation about my presentation. I couldn’t help but eavesdrop a bit.

"Look! It’s him," one woman said.

Her companion retorted sarcastically, "Do you really think all of that stuff he talked about even works?"
