Research indicates that emotional intelligence (EI) accounts for an astonishing 70-80 percent of management success. Technical expertise just isn’t enough anymore: project managers need strong interpersonal skills and the ability to recognize emotional cues in order to lead their teams to success.
Emotional Intelligence for Project Managers introduces readers to all facets of EI and shows how emotions can be leveraged to meet project goals. They’ll learn how to:
· Set the tone and direction for the project
· Communicate effectively
· Motivate, inspire, and engage their team
· Encourage flexibility and collaboration
· Deal productively with stress, criticism, and change
· Establish the kind of high morale that attracts top performers
· And more
The second edition includes several expanded sections on self-awareness and self-management, as well as a new chapter on using EI to lead Agile Teams and a close look at Servant Leadership. Without the people skills necessary to lead effectively, even the most care fully orchestrated project can fall apart. This indispensable guide gives project managers the tools they need to create winning teams and get the job done right and on time.
Praise for the first edition of Emotional Intelligence for Project Managers:
“A well-structured, easy read that delivers results . . . a worthy investment, particularly for aspiring or current project management professionals.” — PM World Today magazine
“It’s the book I wished I’d written. If you don’t own a copy, go out and get one.”— Elizabeth Harrin, pm4girls.com
Without good people management skills, even the most carefully planned project can fall apart in a flash. And managing people effectively means more than just keeping them in line: It means using finely tuned interpersonal skills and astutely reading emotional cues to get the job done right and on time.
According to the latest research, an astounding 70 to 80 percent of management success rests on this kind of “emotional intelligence” (EQ). Even if you already recognize the important role of EQ in the workplace, this book will help you take your understanding to the next level. Real-world examples of EQ in action, as well as checklists, self-assessments, and worksheets, will guide you through the process of building real rapport with your team. You’ll learn how to:
Establish the kind of high-energy approach that attracts top performers · Develop empathetic listening skills · Encourage flexibility and collaboration among team members · Deal productively with change, blame, stress, and criticism · Leverage emotional information to make better decisions
The second edition of this indispensable guide provides new tips on using EQ to lead and coach Agile Teams, and explores the concept of Servant Leadership, which enhances productivity by promoting emotional connection with your staff. Also included in this edition are expanded sections on self-awareness, self-management, and self-care, because before you can build and lead a winning team, you need to understand and nurture yourself.
The keen insights and practical tools you’ll find here will help you transform your results from “good enough” to “beyond expectations”—all by improving your ability to read between the emotional lines. Improve your EQ and you’ll soon be getting the best work out of everyone involved—including yourself.
