Why I Fired My Smartest Employee

Ever had a genius on your team who just couldn't get along with anyone? I learned the hard way that raw smarts mean nothing if you can't read the room. My brightest analyst was a walking brain, but zero empathy—every meeting felt like a showdown. Letting them go was tough, but my team (and clients) instantly breathed easier. Now, I hire for emotional intelligence first, skills second. Trust me, EQ saves way more headaches than IQ ever will! #JobCareer #WorkCulture #EmotionalIntelligence
