Summary
Daniel Goleman: Emotional Intelligence
In 1995, Daniel Goleman published the blockbuster bestselling book Emotional Intelligence*, a book that now has more than 5 million copies in print worldwide in 40 different languages. He’s the author of a new series of primers for the competencies of emotional and social intelligence, titled Building Blocks of Emotional Intelligence* and he’s launching an emotional intelligence coaching certification.
Key Points
- Emotional Intelligence has given us permission to talk about emotion in the workplace.
- Emotional Intelligence is about how well you can manage yourself.
- Self-awareness is fundamental.
- If you have a sense of your true strengths and weaknesses, you can have self-confidence that is based on reality.
- If you feel your emotions flaring up, pause and name what’s going on. That’ll allow the executive part of your brain to take back charge.
- Notice what your triggers are and intentionally avoid them.
- Self-awareness can give you insights into bad habits you might have as a leader.
