Business leaders and outstanding performers are not defined by their IQs or even their job skills, but by their "emotional intelligence": a set of competencies that distinguishes how people manage feelings, interact, and communicate. Analyses done by dozens of experts in 500 corporations, government agencies, and nonprofit organizations worldwide conclude that emotional intelligence is the barometer of excellence on virtually any job. This book explains what emotional intelligence is and why it counts more than IQ or expertise for excelling on the job. It details 12 personal competencies based on self-mastery (such as accurate self-assessment, self-control, initiative, and optimism) and 13 key relationship skills (such as service orientation, developing others, conflict management, and building bonds). Goleman includes many examples and anecdotes--from Fortune 500 companies to a nonprofit preschool--that show how these competencies lead to or thwart success. <p> Unlike IQ, emotional intelligence can keep growing--it continues to develop with life experiences. Understanding and raising your emotional intelligence is essential to your success and leadership potential. This book is an excellent resource for learning how to accomplish this. <I>--Joan Price</I> 1287883 1998 Working with Emotional Intelligence total:170|5:26|4:60|3:62|2:18|1:4| 170 596 312 21 4 1 false false Sun Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Aug 26 22:33:13 -0700 2008 Tue Aug 26 22:38:17 -0700 2008 5 0 false true Fri Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sat May 03 08:11:51 -0700 2008 Sat May 03 08:16:23 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Mon Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu May 28 07:41:43 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 01 19:44:20 -0700 2009
The first book definitely had a greater impact on me. The last 75 pages or so seemed to drone on about the same topics, with little new insights.

Emotional competence involves two things (1) empathy in reading the feelings of others, (2) social skills to handle those feeling artfully

I found this book to be highly practical, way more pragmatic than the previous book. If you read the E.I., I strongly recommend to read this too to get the most out of this topic. ]]> 4 0 false false Fri Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2006 Mon Apr 30 22:14:17 -0700 2007 Mon Apr 30 22:15:17 -0700 2007
