Publisher's summary

Managing the human side of work

Research by Daniel Goleman, a psychologist and coauthor of Primal Leadership, has shown that emotional intelligence is a more powerful determinant of good leadership than technical competence, IQ, or vision.

Influencing those around us and supporting our own well-being requires us to be self-aware, know when and how to regulate our emotional reactions, and understand the emotional responses of those around us. No wonder emotional intelligence has become one of the crucial criteria in hiring and promotion. But luckily it's not just an innate trait: Emotional intelligence comprises skills that all of us can learn and improve on. In this guide, you'll learn how to:

• Determine your emotional intelligence strengths and weaknesses
• Understand and manage your emotional reactions
• Deal with difficult people
• Make smarter decisions
• Bounce back from tough times
• Help your team develop emotional intelligence
• Arm yourself with the advice you need to succeed on the job, with the most trusted brand in business.

Packed with how-to essentials from leading experts, the HBR Guides provide smart answers to your most pressing work challenges.

A Harvard Book without Chapter Names and Misnumber

There are 29 chapters in this audiobook, but none of the chapters have chapter names.

One would have thought that Harvard would have a higher standard to allow people purchasing this to navigate around their audiobook.

Failing to put chapter names into your audiobook is just lacking in consideration for the listener.

To make it even worse, when you click on Chapter 5 then the narrator tells you that you are actually reading Chapter 4. In other words, even the numbering of the chapters is out.

This audiobook has been around for more than six years and still they haven't bothered fixing the Chapter problems in this book.

Come on Harvard. Really, I expected better from Harvard. It looks like the chapter names have been omitted for at least six years since this audiobook has been published on 4 July 2017.

Surely it should be obvious that one of the more fundamental things about reading a book, especially an audiobook, is having chapter names?

It's quite a displeasure to get through this audiobook even though the content seems to be reasonably okay because it is so frustrating to listen to an audiobook while blind to the chapter names.

It will probably take me a couple of years to complete this audiobook because I keep getting put off by the lack of chapter names.
