Become a better leader by improving your emotional intelligence.

Best-selling author Daniel Goleman first brought the concept of emotional intelligence (EI) to the forefront of business through his articles in Harvard Business Review, establishing EI as an indispensable trait for leaders. The Emotionally Intelligent Leader brings together three of Goleman's best-selling HBR articles.

In "What Makes a Leader?" Goleman explores research that found that truly effective leaders are distinguished by high levels of self-awareness and sharp social skills. In "The Focused Leader", Goleman explains neuroscience research that proves that "being focused" is more than filtering out distractions while concentrating on one thing. In "Leadership That Gets Results", Goleman draws on research to outline six distinct leadership styles, each one springing from different components of emotional intelligence. Together, these three articles guide leaders to recognize the direct ties between EI and measurable business results.

As common sense as the concepts may seem, if not paying attention to them and actively working on improving, you aren't doing your subordinates and yourself justice. Take notes!

This was a quick audiobook to get through and something good to put on even if you’re in the middle of working. I think this book will help you understand where you land on emotional intelligence. I think this is definitely a good listen for upcoming leaders or individual contributors who are aspiring to be leaders one day. I can personally say that it helped me understand my own management style in regards to emotional intelligence, and I feel pretty good about where I am. ultimately the biggest lesson is that there are multiple styles each of them have their own pros and cons however, it’s really just important that you as a leader and just as a person in general are very self-aware of how you interact with people in life and in your professional environment. It also brought a good point that just because a particular style that you use works with one person doesn’t mean it’s gonna work with someone else so you have to be readily able to pivot your style when needed. It definitely recommends this audiobook.

Small but mighty!

Really liked this book.
Easy to hear, with a healthy level of examples.
Full of clearly defined.... definitions. This is very valuable, soft skills normally ends in gray areas. I really appreciated the books effort to define things like: Emotional self awareness, Self-confidence, Self-control, Empathy, etc.
It covers a very good (and descriptive) categorization of leadership styles.
Finally, it does limit the scope to Emotional Intelligence in terms of performance, not spirituality or other dimensions.
Thus, most of the findings are based on experiments measured with performance.
I recommend this book to people who want to understand or become leaders in their professional work.

Really good book. Pragmatic and to the point

Honestly, time has not treated these theories well. If we were as “Emotionally Intelligent” as this asserts humanity should be, our world would be in a much better state. The reality is that “EQ” has enabled psychopaths to have an almost exclusive hold in business and national leadership—and it shows.

Once again, good intentions pave the way for psychos to cease control and destroy our society.

I am not saying there are no valid insights or decent ideas, but the concept and the supporting data are flawed. This tends to happen when Self-Reporting is the sole source of data used to declare the validity of what can only be defined as “pseudoscience.”

Businesses only focused on Shares have led to our crumbling economy and unsustainable consumption model, excessive y-o-y inflation, and psychotic leaders who care only about Shareholders while never considering the employee among Stakeholders when it is the employee who is the most significant and most valuable Stakeholder.

It's just more overhyped soft-language drivel that has proven untrue in almost every manner. While this may create warm fuzzies for some, it should be immediately disregarded when compared to the societal outcomes—which are in direct contrast to the claims made by the author.

Save your money. Just attend AchieveGlobal’s ‘Genuine Leadership’ and you will come out much further ahead. This teaches readers to soften their positioning of the use of the same Machiavellian outlook as one can learn from ‘The Prince’ or Robert Greene’s ‘Rules of Power’ Cut out the middle man and just go full Machiavellian, as its at least a more honest approach to the same outcomes.

People still value honesty, and if they don't we owe it to ourselves and society to cast aside those who prefer obfuscation, deception or blatant dishonesty.

Meh. More Business concepts that do not withstand the test of time.
