LQ – A must-have indicator of a future leader?

LQ (Love quotion) – compassion index, the ability to put oneself in another's perspective is a new index concept that is highly appreciated by Jack Ma, the Dalai Lama as well as the CEO of LinkedIN - Jeff Weiner.

In modern society, the relationship between "boss-employee" is increasingly connected when the style of "servant leadership" becomes popular. Gone are the days when the boss held the head of his employees and demanded and forced them to do as he pleased. A leader of the new era will know how to enrich the lives of employees, roll with them at work, immerse themselves in the common work to achieve the goal. To be able to have such "ability", as leaders, they must have compassion, empathy for others. That is LQ (Love quotient), an indicator that according to Jack Ma is more important than IQ or EQ. Jack Ma said: “If you want to be respected, you need LQ. What is LQ? It's the "quotient of love," something machines never have." Jack Ma is currently considered a pioneer in popularizing LQ to everyone, especially the leadership class. For him, the success of individuals or groups should not be measured mechanically by money or property, but should use LQ to see how many problems we have solved, supported and helped many people. ?

The CEO of LinkedIn - a social network specializing in education, career and employment, Jeff Weiner also praised the LQ index, in a post on his personal page, he said: “As the Dalai Lama explains, if you are walking down a road and meet someone who has been crushed by a rock, an empath will get the same feeling as the person being crushed. What do you get for someone crushed by a stone? However, a compassionate person will understand the pain of the victim and then have the power to move the rock and help the person in need. Simply put, compassion is something more advanced than empathy, it allows us to integrate into another person's perspective, bringing high value in work as well as work.".

Both Jack Ma, Dalai Lama, and Jeff Weiner agree that if you conquer the world with compassion, you can overcome any difficulty without a hitch. In leadership too, a compassionate leader always wins over those who only sympathize and do nothing to change. Be a leader with vision, ability, management skills and a compassionate heart.
