LESSONS:
Chapter 1: A SURPRISING SYNERGY – AN INTRODUCTION
The phrase emotional intelligence, or its casual shorthand EQ, has become ubiquitous, showing up in settings as unlikely as the cartoon strips Dilbert and Zippy the Pinhead, and in Roz Chast’ssequential art in The New Yorker. There have been boxes of toys that claim to boost a child’s EQ; lovelorn personal ads sometimes trumpet it in those seeking prospective mates or a quip about EQ printed on a shampoo bottle in the hotel room.
Chapter 2: MANAGING WITH HEART
This chapter provides some practical advice on giving constructive feedback – and the consequences of giving critiques poorly. It offers a concrete example of the difference between leading with emotional intelligence, and without.
Chapter 3: WHAT MAKES A LEADER?
This chapter describes the components of emotional intelligence and the link between a company’s success and the emotional intelligence of its leaders.
Chapter 4: LEADERSHIP THAT GETS RESULTS
This chapter describes six distinct leadership styles, each springing from different components of emotional intelligence, based on the research by the consulting firm Hay/McBer, which draws on a random sample of 3,871 executives selected from a database of more than 20,000 executives worldwide. The styles, taken individually, appear to have a direct and unique impact on the working atmosphere of a company, division, or team, and in turn, on its financial performance.
Chapter 5: THE GROUP IQ & SOCIAL BRAIN
This chapter presents the dynamics of the group IQ, then returned to the importance of emotional intelligence in the group IQ and gives information about social neuroscience. This branch of brain research began to look at how brains behave while we interact, and the result was a flood of new discoveries about the brain’s social circuitry. Those findings had great implications in light of another set of discoveries about the relationship between the brain’s centers for thought and for emotions.
Chapter 6: PRIMAL LEADERSHIP
This chapter defines the essential task of a leader: to help people get and stay in the brain zone where they can work at their best.
