In his phenomenal bestseller, Emotional Intelligence, Daniel Goleman mapped 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. Now, in Working With Emotional Intelligence, Goleman shows why emotional intelligence has become the new yardstick for success for CEOs and junior hires alike. Drawing on both unparalleled access to business leaders and in-depth research, he documents that star performance in every field depends more on emotional intelligence than IQ or technical skills. And the impact of emotional intelligence is even greater at the top of the leadership pyramid. Goleman vividly shows how self-awareness, motivation, influence, conflict management, and team-building play out in some of the top corporations in the world today, and points out the damage done when they are lacking. He also creates a strategy for the "emotionally intelligent organization" that will shape training and development programs for years to come. With examples from real-life businesses, including successes and failures, this program is a blueprint for all who want to thrive with integrity and satisfaction in the new global economy.

"Nowadays, this is being spoken off as an essential ingredient of successfully managing relationships and results. In my opinion, an essential read as this something that is not always clearly understood. A clear understanding and application is so critical to be successful in today's environment"

Having explained in Emotional Intelligence that EQ matters as much as IQ in the workplace, Goleman now explains how EQ can be learned.
— Library Journal" Very interesting, and it does make a person become more self-aware. However, I had hoped for a little more information about ways in developing some of the competencies discussed, but this book didn't focus on that (the author did explain in the beginning of the book that he wouldn't be covering that type of info, which I appreciate). The book also didn't always keep my attention, but it definitely wasn't a waste of my time to read this one. In a department of 60 or so women, I think emotional intelligence is rather important. :) "

— Irawan, 11/15/2010" This book presented unique data and information on the subject of personal and professional development. It made me re-evaluate my professinal priorities and see the value of LBWA as it appears to be a more valuable competency than pure knowledge without a social ability to use it. "

— Nitrorockets, 4/20/2005" I feel that in my job I have a relatively low EQ compared to my IQ. So I read this book with the hopes of getting some tips to balance myself out. Sure, there was a lot of info in there that is useful... but hardly revolutionary. I don't think I came away with much to help me in my job. "
