A must read for budding professionals having long-lasting dreams
The world is moving beyond the parameters of Intelligence Quotient (IQ) and Emotional Quotient (EQ) in measuring individuals. The Passion Quotient (PQ) is gaining ground in the current world due to its closeness to measure people having high degree of creativity, innovativeness and leadership traits. PQ brings out best out of the ordinary. While cultured, PQ can be helpful in cultivation of passion and makes a person passionate about doing things more actively and responsively. This book helps in developing a matrix of passion, which an individual can effectively follow in order to set and achieve the goals in his/her professional, entrepreneurial and social life. This book is authored by leadership trainer and motivational speaker Virender Kapoor, who did background research on PQ and its possible effects in unleashing the individuals having hidden talent and creative instincts.
This book is divided into eight enlightening and easy-to-follow chapters, namely, (1) What Do You Think Passion is? (2) What’s Your Passion? (3) Implementing Passion to Achieve Goals, (4) Those Madly Passionate People, (5) Creative Competence, (6) Arousing Enthusiasm in Your Organisation, (7) Passion at Schools and Colleges, and (8) Passionate Leaders. At the end of each chapter, author helps in identifying reader’s Personal Road Map. Author also provides a questionnaire-based PQ Test to improve one’s passion quotient. A must read for budding passionate leaders having long-lasting dreams.
