Daniel Goleman's international bestseller "Emotional Intelligence" forever changed our concept of "being smart", showing how emotional intelligence (EI)-- how we handle ourselves and our relationships -- can determine life success more than IQ. Then "Working With Emotional Intelligence" revealed how stellar career performance also depends on EI.
Now, Goleman teams with renowned EI researchers Richard Boyatzis and Annie McKee to explore the role of EI in leadership. Unveiling neuroscientific links between organizational success or failure and "primal leadership," the author's argue that a leader's emotions are contagious. If a leader resonates energy and enthusiasm, an organization thrives; if a leader spreads negativity and dissonance, it flounders. This breakthrough concept charges leaders with driving emotions in the right direction to have a positive impact on earnings and strategy.
