At best, "serious" businesses (which I take to mean large, successful ones) pretend to take EQ seriously.

Engaging with reality as directly as possible is important in business. Emotions are a part of reality, usually a signal about social dynamics.

At the higher levels of serious companies — by which I mean ones trying to win in the market, regardless of size - managers and executives regularly receive training about this.

I can’t say more because this is my alt, but: “executives are childish”, “executives are psychopaths”, etc. are very common, often incorrect narratives. If anything executives should be straightforward and simple.

To return to topic: something is going seriously sideways with Matt, and I wish him the best.

Except they almost NEVER are, in fact, the most common trait shown by executives is dishonesty.
