Discussion: Intelligence
On March 12, 2009, a former chief of the New York Stock Exchange pled guilty to one of the largest financial frauds in history.
Bernie Madoff, founder of his own financial firm and active philanthropist, had been swindling thousands of private investors-many of whom were close friends-out of billions of dollars.
Madoff had achieved a degree of personal financial success few individuals ever attain, though he will be spending the rest of his life in prison. Would you consider Madoff an intelligent person?
What role might emotional intelligence have played in his decision making?
