Episode notes
In this episode of Executive Careers with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore how senior leaders leverage emotional intelligence to make better hiring decisions. Using a recent case from a Fortune 500 technology company, they unpack why EQ often outweighs IQ in C-suite recruitment, how to assess it during interviews, and what one senior VP did when her gut told her the perfect-on-paper candidate was wrong. If you're a VP or C-suite leader involved in hiring top talent, this episode gives you a concrete framework for reading between the lines. No buzzwords, just real strategy drawn from real decisions. #EmotionalIntelligence #HiringStrategy #SeniorLeaders #ExecutiveHiring #TalentAcquisition #Csuite #VPHiring #EQ #Leadership #Interviewing #CultureFit #DecisionMaking #Careers #Business #ExecutiveCareers #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #LeadershipDevelopment Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
