Emotional Intelligence at Work : A Self-help Guide That Teaches You to Build Your Social Skills and Establish Strong Relationships With Your Peers

If you ever have trouble controlling your anger, sadness, or anxiety at work or at home, then this book is great for you. Inside you will find actionable tips and techniques on how to deal with these awful emotions that often take up so much of our time and energy. This book will feature advise on a number of topics: improving interpersonal connections at work, controlling emotions, building confidence, finding long-lasting success, social engineering, and leadership. In all of these subjects, the reader should find at least one thing to take away from all this.

The workplace can tend to be one of the most difficult places to control emotions in. No matter how hard you try, those difficult days are always bound to come up. In your personal life, your reactions to stressful situations are much freer, but in the workplace, your reactions are subject to the scrutiny of your coworkers. Any emotional outbursts while working can not only damage your professional reputation and productivity, but they can even get you fired.

The modern workplace is one of the most competitive environments in history. There is, however, one thing that the bulk of this competition neglects to do, and that is control emotions. Those who focus on doing this not only step ahead of their competition but they also improve their own personal lives in doing so. It is a win-win that may even save you from personal disaster.

This book's subject is broad. Emotional intelligence is a wide concept with lots of components, which means that there is a lot of room for improvement. This book mostly covers emotional intelligence through a lens suitable for use in the workplace, but to truly gain skills in dealing with your emotions you have to live a lifestyle, of sorts, devoted to that goal, in and outside of work.

This book also tackles some of the components of effective leadership, as anyone who applies the other concepts mentioned in this book is bound at one point or another to find him or herself in some sort of leadership position. Included here are brief outlines of the 'transformational model' of leadership proposed by James MacGregor Burns and further developed by Bernard Bass, Belbin's team roles approach, and the forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning theory of Bruce Tuckman.

If all of the individual subjects poured over in this book are worked on simultaneously, then the best results will occur. These do, after all, all have a way of working on top of one another to produce some sometimes-surprising results.

If you are interested in developing emotional intelligence skills, then this is one of the more beneficial books on the market that you are bound to find.
