| Summary: | Daniel Goleman's international bestseller Emotional Intelligence forever changed our concept of 'being smart', proving that emotional intelligence or EI - how we handle ourselves and our relationships - matters more than IQ or technical skill in educational success. Now, Daniel Goleman has teamed up with Richard Boyatzis and Annie McKee to explore the consequences of emotional intelligence for leaders and organisations. Unveiling scientific evidence that links organisational success or failure to 'primal leadership', this groundbreaking book argues that a leader's emotions are contagious - and must resonate energy and enthusiasm if an organisation is to thrive. Drawing from decades of analysis within world-class organisations, the authors show that resonant leaders excel not just through industry savvy but also by leveraging EI competencies such as empathy and self-awareness. They also interchange among six leadership styles -from visionary to coaching to commanding - as the situation demands. Identifying neurological mechanisms through which resonant leadership can be learned, the authors explain how leaders can groom personal EI competencies and optimise organisational EI to ignite outstanding performance. This is the book no leader in any walk of life can afford to miss, for it transforms the art of leadership into the science of results. |
