Why emotional intelligence is an invalid concept
论证情商既不是一种智力形式，又因定义过于宽泛而失去意义，并区分了情商与理性、智力的关系，指出其在领导力应用中的根本缺陷，最后提出替代概念。
Abstract In this paper I argue that the concept of emotional intelligence (EI) is invalid both because it is not a form of intelligence and because it is defined so broadly and inclusively that it has no intelligible meaning. I distinguish the so‐called concept of EI from actual intelligence and from rationality. I identify the actual relation between reason and emotion. I reveal the fundamental inadequacy of the concept of EI when applied to leadership. Finally, I suggest some alternatives to the EI concept. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
