In richly anecdotal detail, Goleman brings to life the field of social neuroscience that has emerged in the decade since the publication of Emotional Intelligence. He shows that, far more than we are consciously aware, our daily encounters with parents, spouses, bosses, and even strangers shape our brains and affect cells throughout our bodies. Our relationships create a setpoint for our daily moods and influence our immune response; they are crucial to achievement in students and workers; they determine whether or not some genes are expressed, for good or ill.

We've all had experiences with two dramatically different types of leaders. The first type drain intelligence, energy, and capability from the people around them and always need to be the smartest people in the room. These are the idea killers, the energy sappers, the diminishers of talent and commitment. On the other side of the spectrum are leaders who use their intelligence to amplify the smarts and capabilities of the people around them.

Most people believe that the best way to motivate is with rewards like money - the carrot-and-stick approach. That's a mistake, says Daniel H. Pink (author of To Sell Is Human: The Surprising Truth About Motivating Others). In this provocative and persuasive new book, he asserts that the secret to high performance and satisfaction - at work, at school, and at home - is the deeply human need to direct our own lives, to learn and create new things, and to do better by ourselves and our world.

Not as good as A Whole New Mind

Publisher's summary
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.

This opened my eyes
I started listening to this book one weekend, while I was hanging suspended ceiling in my basement. There were several times, that afternoon, that I found myself just standing there listening instead of working on my project.
The author helped me realize that my management style had evolved over the years and I had become the manager that I would not want to work for. His analogy of the frog boiling in water was me.
I have since made a conscious effort to become the manager that I was when I began my career. I revisit this book occasionally, to remind myself.

A must read
I will start with a caveat: This is long - and at times the focus on the actual functioning of the brain is a bit to indepth - so buckle down because it is a must read. It provides a data based approach to management and leadership, and should be a key reading of all new managers, executives and leaders. Too often, the market is filled with 'how I did it' books, which neglect to note that how the author did it is not universally applicable. By understanding all of the different style, you will learn to pick the styles that are appropriate for your situation and personality

Buy this one...
This offers several very intersting points of view. It confirms the belief that it takes more than IQ to really excel and clearly points out the strengths and gaps in several different styles of leadership. It challenges you to think about and evaluate your style of leadership to see where you might improve. I highly recommend this book!!

Good content, hard to listen to
I think that the book has a lot of good content, but I found it hard to get into--the first 3 chapters didn't seem to say much, the next few were excellent, but after a few hours it seemed to get repetitive. If I lost my place it was very difficult to find it again because I felt like I'd heard all of it before.
I plan on listening to it again, only this time I'm going to break it down into smaller pieces which I'll listen to over a period of a month or two. The content is good, the narrator is fine, but the book seemed a repetitive and drawn out to me.

I was hoping for guidance not statistics
I have read the book Emotional Intelligence by Daniel Goleman and was hoping this book would build upon the knowledge gleaned from that book to help me be a better leader in my business. Perhaps I am not patient enough, but 5 hours into this book I am learning a lot of statistics, but not a lot of application of the principles that can help translate into skills I can use through EI. Apparently I am not ready for Primal Leadership because I need more "how to's".

Get to the point already!
What disappointed you about Primal Leadership?
I couldn't even finish this book because the it is extremely repetitive and never got to the point. If it ever did get to the point, I had lost interest long before that. It's like one of those infomercials that keeps telling you WHY you need this product, but never actually tells you anything about the product itself! Very frustrating.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Very disappointed.

Well recommended
I would like to recommend this book to anyone who is looking to improve their knowledge of management techniques. It is simple to read and therefore understand and presents some challenging concepts that need to be understood. These can easily be applied to the working enviroment without any considerable challenges.
I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did and look forward to seeing your own reviews of this book at a later date.

Good book however too long winded
Now that I have listened to this whole book I feel it could have been summarised better. Each chapter was based on a number of different stories with no summary near the end.
One would have to go through the book repeatedly and pick out their own parts that would resonate with them. The problem here lies with Audible chapter summary which has no index only chapter numbers hence making it near impossible to find the right area you would need

This was an excellent book/presentation of the material. Tone and pace were spot on. Provides some essential and constructive insights for anyone wishing to be a good manager but also those wishing to move beyond being a manager to a coaching manager or transformational leader. I've recommended this others. Will be returning to specific chapters for refresh every now and then.

Valuable Wisdom
Really enjoyed the content of this book. It resonated with my experience. Looking forward to putting it into practice. Will have to get a hard copy of the book and read it a few times to absorb all the great advice to action. Thank you for this work. This book, Dare to Lead by Brene Brown and The Advantage by Patrick Lencioni are the best books I've read and implemented from relating to leadership and organisational health and success.

Life Changing
Great hearing about these new concepts and see how well they fit into many areas in need of change in our own organisation where an answer to our problems just didn't seem to exist. Just found some ideas a little hard to grasp, but overall a great book.

Story
It is the tenth anniversary since the first publication of Daniel Goleman's groundbreaking bestseller, Emotional Intelligence, which maps the territory where IQ meets EQ, where we apply what we know to how we live. Spending over a year on the New York Times bestseller list, Emotional Intelligence provided the evidence for what many successful people already knew: being smart isn't just a matter of mastering facts; it's a matter of mastering your own emotions and understanding the emotions of the people around you.

Story
In richly anecdotal detail, Goleman brings to life the field of social neuroscience that has emerged in the decade since the publication of Emotional Intelligence. He shows that, far more than we are consciously aware, our daily encounters with parents, spouses, bosses, and even strangers shape our brains and affect cells throughout our bodies. Our relationships create a setpoint for our daily moods and influence our immune response; they are crucial to achievement in students and workers; they determine whether or not some genes are expressed, for good or ill.

Now Goleman and company apply that knowledge to leadership in a must-hear presentation.
