beyond IQ

In our society, we value IQ a lot. May be a bit too much…

In classes, students tend to understate the effort they put for their exams to attribute their grades to their grey sells and not mid-night lamp. Very often, an intelligent guy is referred to as 'Bond', while the hard working fella rather condescendingly as 'ghissu' or 'maggu'.

Enter to the corporate world and a rude shock welcomes ‘Mr 007’. Suddenly, he feels that his brains are under-utilised, raises questions about the system and even at times changes his job... Doesn’t work.

For little do we realise that IQ is just one of the many ingredients required for recipe of corporate success. Articulation, memory, hard work, people skills and ability to take a lot of shit are a few others...
Time we realise that it is not about being intelligent; it's about being effective!
