If you're looking for a good workbook that uses easy to understand terms, and that has practical exercises, this can be a great tool for you.
Either for coaches or trainers, or for leaders. Divided in 3 sections, designed for you to be able to take or leave what you want and need.
Sports analogies, common sense examples, you need it, you've got it: workplace examples and exercises of how you think and feel impacts how you lead - and how you can lead more effectively.
If you're looking for an analysis of EQ vs IQ vs MBTI personality indicator tests, not so much.
I received a free advance copy of this book, and freely offer my review, and voluntary recommendation for practical leadership groups, teams and trainings. 20 years in expat in executive coaching, I wish we'd had more materials like this. with its plain speak terms and business application exercises.

Practical & Worthwhile
Practical advice and helps for anyone, not just those looking to improve their leadership skills. Very helpful even for every day practices, such as interpersonal communication.

Very useful!
I especially liked the EQ-i 2.0 Model of Emotional Intelligence, because it provides a way to measure oneself and others, to identify points of improvement and as well actions to improve.
Also, it provides a shared language that can be used to discuss EI with others.
