Summary

Daniel Goleman's international best seller 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 emotional intelligence in leadership. Unveiling neuroscientific links between organizational success or failure and "primal leadership," the authors 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.

Drawing from decades of analysis, the authors show that resonant leaders excel not just through skill and smarts but also by connecting with others, using EI competencies such as empathy and self-awareness. And they employ up to six leadership styles - from visionary to coach to pacesetter - fluidly interchanging them as the situation demands. The program no leader in any walk of life can afford to miss, this unforgettable work transforms the art of leadership into the science of results.

Overall a good book that breaks down how emotional intelligence is key in leading successful teams and businesses.

I found this to be a great book on breaking down the importance of emotional intelligence and resonance for leading teams to success. It also does a great job of exploring the detrimental effects of poor leadership, low emotional intelligence and dissonance. I would say from the audible/audio book perspective I wish the book had separated out the chapter so that I could go back to the book section and annotate it. I'm using this book as a study tool so I tend to listen between work tasks and throughout the day but if I hear a gem that I want to remember I go to the book and add a sticky note. It was harder to do this with this audio book because the sub-chapter aren't listed in audible. I'll have to skim read entire pages to find the bits that stood out while I listening. Overall though it was a good book.
