Business L E S S ON Kip Tindell CHAIRMAN AND CEO, THE CONTAINER STORE What is essential to being a leader? "While I certainly value intellectual intelligence, a capable leader must also possess emotional intelligence. I think that's the key to being really successful. These individuals keep their egos in check and remain sensitive to the needs of others. Instead of being driven by deepseated insecurities, emotionally intelligent leaders are comfortable surrounding themselves with people who are better than they are in certain areas, and they rank high on Maslow's hierarchy of needs where self-esteem, awareness, honesty, and objectivity are concerned. Business is not a zero-sum game. In other words, someone else doesn't have to lose in order for you to win. The best leaders both understand and embrace that type of thinking." Tindell's book, Uncontainable: How Passion, Commitment, and Conscious Capitalism Built a Business Where Everyone Thrives, comes out this month.
