Working with Emotional Intelligence
Daniel Goleman, Ph.D. is also the co-author of Primal Leadership: Learning to Lead with Emotional Intelligence, authored with Richard Boyatzis and Annie McKee.
Do you have what it takes to be a successful professional? The secret to success is not what you were taught in school. What is most important is not IQ, a business school degree, or even technical knowledge or years of experience. Emotional intelligence is the single most essential component in professional performance and advancement. Emotional intelligence is a set of talents that anybody can learn, and Daniel Goleman names them, explains their significance, and shows how they can be developed in this practical guide.
Emotional intelligence accounts for over 90% of what distinguishes stars from mediocre leaders. As Goleman demonstrates, it is a necessary component for achieving and maintaining success in any sector, even high-tech careers. And it is the enterprises that learn to operate in emotionally intelligent ways that will remain viable and dynamic in today's competitive marketplace and in the future.
Working with Emotional Intelligence may be the most important business book you'll ever read. It's thoroughly researched, crisply written, and packed with fascinating case histories of triumphs, disasters, and dramatic turnarounds.
Goleman demonstrates an extraordinary truth, based on unprecedented access to corporate executives around the world and studies in more than 500 organizations: emotional intelligence matters twice as much as IQ or technical expertise in determining stellar achievement in every area.
Readers will also learn how to develop emotional intelligence. Goleman examines five essential skill sets and clearly demonstrates how they decide who gets recruited and who is fired in the world's top firms. He also provides training suggestions for the "emotionally intelligent corporation" in chapters that no manager or CEO should skip.
Working with Emotional Intelligence could be the most essential resource for bottom-line businessmen in the early decades of the twenty-first century.
