Synopsis

Become a Better Leader by Improving Your Emotional Intelligence

Bestselling author Daniel Goleman first brought the concept of emotional intelligence (EI) to the forefront of business through his articles in Harvard Business Review, establishing EI as an indispensable trait for leaders. The Emotionally Intelligent Leader brings together three of Goleman's bestselling HBR articles.

In "What Makes a Leader?" Goleman explores research that found that truly effective leaders are distinguished by high levels of self-awareness and sharp social skills. In "The Focused Leader," Goleman explains neuroscience research that proves that "being focused" is more than filtering out distractions while concentrating on one thing. In "Leadership That Gets Results," Goleman draws on research to outline six distinct leadership styles, each one springing from different components of emotional intelligence. Together, these three articles guide leaders to recognize the direct ties between EI and measurable business results.

IQ is important but at the same time EQ has it’s own place. Imagine if you are highly intelligent but couldn’t work with anyone or understand the surroundings then it will hinder your development.

Goodreads review by Deirdre on April 12, 2022

I read Daniel Goleman's original book Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ back in the 1990s. At the time, it represented new and innovative thinking, particularly in relation to the world of business, where traditionally, anything with the word 'emotional' attached to it was treat......more
