Primal Leadership: Realizing the Power of Emotional Intelligence (Leading with Emotional Intelligence)

Daniel Goleman's international bestseller Emotional Intelligence changed our concept of "being smart," proving that emotional intelligence― how we handle ourselves and our relationships―matters more than IQ or technical skill in educational success. Now, Goleman teams with Richard Boyatzis and Annie McKee, experts on emotional intelligence research, to explore the consequences of emotional intelligence for leaders and organizations. The authors argue that a leader's emotions are contagious, and must resonate energy and enthusiasm if an organization is to thrive.

Daniel Goleman, Ph.D., covered behavioral and brain sciences for The New York Times for twelve years and is codirector of the Consortium for Research on Emotional Intelligence in Organizations at Rutgers University. He has taught at Harvard, his alma mater, and as a consultant addresses groups and businesses around the world. Richard Boyatzis is Professor and Chair of Organizational Behavior at the Weatherhead School of Management at Case Western Reserve University. Annie McKee is Director of Management Development Services, North America, at the Hay Group.
