“Learning to embrace and celebrate being different opened a window in my universe which gave me an abundance of perspectives, thoughts, and ideas which became the foundation of my life and my career.” -Rita Kakati-Shah
Kakati-Shah also writes about the evolution of leadership quality measurements, exploring the Intelligence Quotient (IQ), Emotional Quotient (EQ), and the increasingly recognized Decency Quotient (DQ), which also factors in key measurements of honesty, kindness, and integrity.
