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.

"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. "
— Rhett (4 out of 5 stars)
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 well written. I hope to apply the principles shared here. "
— Jeffrey L. Davis, 1/30/2016" Here's another example of a book you should read if ever you plan to manage or supervise people. It certainly puts into perspective the varied ways the human mind works. "
— Nitrorockets, 1/24/2014" 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. "
— Jennifer, 1/23/2014" Read this for work - very timely and valuable information if you tend to be one who responds emotionally to most things. "
— Tami, 1/23/2014" Should have read the prequel... this felt like a sales pitch for the first book "
— Celloranger, 1/20/2014" I am sure there is some good stuff in this book, and it is based on the author's highly influential 'Emotional Intelligence', but it was difficult to draw out the learnings given the volume of self justifying anecdotes and 'real world' examples. The original book is probably all your need for your work challenges. "
— Matthew, 1/15/2014" This book is OK, but is full of success cases/stories and lacks clear guidelines for identifying blind spots, improving the emotional competence, build trustworthiness, and other treats of an emotionally mature person. "
— Islam, 1/12/2014" Too bad I read this book before the E.I, makes it less interesting afterall. Anyway, I'm glad that I read this book when I was younger and need this kind of input in my life so I can say that this is a book that turn my life up, a little bit haha.. "
— Irawan, 1/9/2014" Employers and employees would do well to read/listen to this book. Would be great if all workplaces could be so emotionally intelligent! "
— Virginia, 1/3/2014" Working with Emotional Intelligence is a must read for anyone who wants to move up the corporate ladder. Today's business atmosphere is changing rapidly, and anyone without emotional intelligence will likely find moving upward in their company very difficult. "
— Justin, 12/20/2013" Another motivational self-improvement story. "
— Barbara, 12/9/2013" A book for a better understanding about the need of EQ and how to acquire it. "
— Mi_kan, 10/19/2013" Ok. A lot of words for not saying alot. The focus was why it's important as opposed to strategies. "
— Tara, 9/18/2013" Great book. I wish more upper level managers would read this and practice it, as well. "
— Brian, 9/6/2013" This book totally justifies why I didn't put too much effort into studying in high school and college. LOVED IT. "
— Sara, 3/25/2013" This book presented unique data and information on the subject of personal and professional development.

— Sergio, 1/14/2013" Yep, an IQ above 127 sometimes sound nothings to our daily life. From this book we do learn how to controll our emotional, which sometimes blocked the IQ, through this book at least we know how the mechanical work to our mind and behaviour, good samples etc "
