Clear Channel Communications and Bain

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clear_Channel_Communications
Excerpt:
Clear Channel Communications, Inc. is an American media conglomerate company headquartered in San Antonio, Texas.[3] It was founded in 1972 by Lowry Mays and Red McCombs, and was taken private by Bain Capital LLC and Thomas H. Lee Partners LP in a leveraged buyout in 2008.[4] Clear Channel specializes in radio broadcasting, concert promotion and hosting, and fixed advertising in the United States through its subsidiaries. After 21 years, Mark Mays stepped down as President and CEO of Clear Channel on June 23, 2010.[5] Mays will remain as Chairman of the Board, a position he has held for a year prior. The Board has engaged Egon Zehnder International, a leading executive search firm, to lead the search for a new CEO.
Clear Channel is the largest owner of full-power AM, FM, and shortwave radio stations and twelve radio channels on XM Satellite Radio, and is also the largest pure-play radio station owner and operator. The group was in the television business until it sold all of its TV stations to Newport Television in 2008.

Emotional Intelligence and Leadership CEO Forum Group article
Davies says at the beginning of the article
In last month's article, my colleague, Damien O'Brien, discussed the leadership competencies required for global management.
I went to his firm's website and searched for both Sean and Damien. I found nothing for Sean, but I found out that O'Brien is definitely a partner with the firm, which Google shows as a "large international executive search firm". Here is what I got when I searched for Damien O'Brien and Egon Zehnder
Egon Zehnder International - Large international executive search firm ... Damien I. O'Brien MBA, Columbia University. B. Commerce, University of New South ...

Who would put the link to this article in? And does the article provide more information about EI than EQI.org? Or, perhaps, is it basically an advertisement for the CEO Forum group and Egon Zehnder?

The Hein Model of EI
The other day I tried to add a brief description of my model of EI to Wikipedia. Somenone quickly took it down. This is what I had written
An alternative model, which views emotional intelligence as an innate potential has been proposed by Hein (2005, 2007). This model defines emotional intelligence as "the innate potential to feel, use, communicate, recognize, remember, describe, identify, learn from, manage, understand and explain emotions." This model suggests an individual may be born with high emotional intelligence, yet later act in ways which are unhealthy, anti-social or self-destructive due to their environment and experiences. The model also suggests that current tests can not accurately measure emotional intelligence by looking at an adolescent's or an adult's emotional skills, emotional knowledge and behavior, since all of those are significantly influenced by one's environment and experiences.

I decided to put it back up again today to see how long it will take before someone cuts it out again. It seems there are a lot of people who don't want you to know about my model of EI. Whoever deleted it said something like "Please stick to models from the research literature and not websites, pop psych etc... But they seem not to remember that Goleman's book which made the term emotional intelligence was more pop psych than original research. They also seem to believe that an idea can't possibly be any good if it did not come from someone in a university or if the status quo has not endorsed it.

Excerpt:
Egon Zehnder International is a global executive search firm. With revenues of 605m USD[citation needed] in 2010, it ranks as one of the top five executive search firms in the world.[1]
The firm was founded in 1964 by Egon Zehnder (a 1956 Harvard Business School graduate) and operates in 38 countries with 64 offices.[2]
Currently Damien O'Brien, Paris, serves as CEO and Chairman. The firm has some 1200 employees, including 410 consultants.[citation needed]
The firm claims to offer services and expertise in the fields of Executive Search, Board Consulting and Leadership Strategy Services.
Academic research by the Harvard Business School has examined Egon Zehnder International's history, reward culture and the creation of different practices in the mid 90s.[3][4] One of the principles that the firm claims for itself - operating as a single profit center - was described in an article by Ronald Heifetz, Alexander Grashow, Marty Linsky in the Harvard Business Review (July 2009).[5]
In his book "Working with Emotional Intelligence", US business author Daniel Goleman introduced his theory of emotional intelligence. In the chapter "The emotionally intelligent organization" he describes various firms, including Egon Zehnder International.[6]
