In my latest blog post, I highlight the value of kindness over intelligence in the workplace. I talk about how being kind—through listening, respecting others, showing empathy, and focusing on solutions—can significantly enhance team dynamics and productivity. While being smart is important, I believe that kindness leaves a lasting impact and creates a more positive and effective work environment.

I’d go further and assert that kindness usually aligns with intelligence.
Demonstrating that you’re the smartest guy in the room is an ape-like expression of dominance. The IQ is a distant second.

Listening and focusing on solutions is being smart though. If you’re only looking for people who are ‘respecting you’ and ‘show empathy’ you might not find competent people with whom you’re gonna produce useful things to trade with the rest of society

Those actually do sound like smartness. Emotional intelligence is as important as any other.
