Publisher's summary

What does it take to be a firefighter? Fighter pilot? Top of the heap in the sales department? A brilliant customer service advisor? Esteemed and respected corporate leader?

What does it take to get ahead? To separate yourself from the competition? Lead a less stressful existence? To be fulfilled in personal life and professional pursuits?

What is the most important dynamic of your makeup? Is it your A) intelligence quotient? Or B) emotional quotient?

If you picked "A", you are partly correct. Your intelligence quotient can be a predictor of things such as academic achievement. But it is fixed and unchangeable. The real key to personal and professional growth, and happiness, is your emotional quotient, which you can nurture and develop.

The EQ Edge, by Steven J. Stein and Howard E. Book, shows you how the dynamic of emotional intelligence works. By understanding EQ, you can build more meaningful relationships, boost your confidence and optimism, and respond to challenges with enthusiasm - all of which are essential ingredients of success.

The book features case studies and fascinating - and surprising - insights into EQ and the workplace. As an HR or line manager, this book will help you determine which personnel are the right fit for job opportunities and who among your staff will be the most promising leaders and drivers of your business. And because CEOs to front-line workers also have other roles - parent, spouse, caregiver to aging parents, neighbor, friend - The EQ Edge also describes how everyone can be more successful in these relationships.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Useful

Pulled things I already knew from the back of my mind to the front and then paired with other concepts. Helpful for people who have conflict with others but don’t understand why. I liked the pace and flow.

Understanding me

The details for me to understand the why is what I loved the most. I will continue to work on learning about how to maneuver through life in a very positive manner while working with others to help them understand their EQ.

Read/ listen, practice...Repeat

This piece touched a lot of bases. unfortunately Emotional intelligence is not practiced by many leaders, teachers or parents. The primary reason is because it wasn't taught to them. Although not new to society it appears to remain a secret. Emotional Intelligence should be a mandatory part of education. Read this again and again.

Story after story

So much time spent telling stories! Please just cut to the chase and tell us what we need to know. An illustrative story here and there is one thing but there’s just so fluff here.
