Intelligence With A Heart with Daniel Goleman

MP3 Download

The book Emotional Intelligence (Bantam 1995) fundamentally changed our understanding of what qualities enable people to excel in real life. The phenomenal response from the business community to the book prompted author Daniel Goleman to apply his insights to the workplace. He found that emotional intelligence is crucial to the performance of every employee, employer and business organization. "Emotional intelligence matters twice as much for outstanding performance as both IQ and expertise combined." He offers ways to combat and change toxic work environments and pinpoints the qualities we all need to cope with today's ever-accelerating marketplace. And the good news is that anyone can improve their emotional competence-at any stage in their career or in life. (hosted by Michael Toms)
