Resumen del Editor

When you look at your organization, you’ll find that it lives in two places – its process and values. The human element is the common link between these two. Look closer, and you’ll realize that the same emotions that seek to increase a company’s productivity are often the same forces that can undermine a company’s core values. Understanding how to direct and control those emotions—both inside and outside an organization—is the core theme of this book.

Leading with Emotional Intelligence presents practical and straightforward guidance you can put to immediate use in your business or group. Learn how to tap into the most valuable asset you have and implement strategies to grow revenue, reduce costs, and provide stakeholder value.

Many organizations still function in an outdated way, refusing to examine the processes and values that drive their business. Leading with Emotional Intelligence captures lessons learned from interviews I’ve had with C-level executives, managers, self-made billionaires, mayors, and scientists over the last several years and draws upon research in neuroscience, organizational psychology, and real-world studies.

The techniques provided here are helpful for every type of leader and organization, from the government sector to commercial enterprises, from small businesses to large corporations. Discover concrete steps for modifying your leadership style for employee retention, stakeholder engagement, and to drive away customer dissatisfaction.

Helpful Resource in Career and in Life

This is a must-read for everyone, really, but particularly those in leadership and whose jobs rely on influencing others, regardless of whether they are officially in a position of authority.

As a mid level business analyst, I honestly don't know how I got this far in my career without the guidance included in this book. I've gained a new perspective and methodology that I can put to use immediately to improve my interpersonal skills, therefore leading to more intentional outcomes. Many different business situations are covered, including explanations of common roadblocks and how to overcome them. For example, navigating difficult emotions during an acquisition.

Toward the end of the book, there is quite a bit more information focusing on self care. It's important to understand how taking care of our physical needs is directly related to how well we are able to apply these techniques to improve our EQ and function as a whole. For instance, when we are very tired, it is a lot harder to focus and be strategic about how we interact with others.

Overall, I recommend this book and hope to see more from Mr. Mann in the future!
