Editorial Review: Product Description: This is a handbook for coaching and leadership development. Emotional intelligence is becoming increasingly popular as a vehicle for coaching people and developing leaders. This book covers 21 competencies within the four dimensions of emotional intelligence: 1. Self-Awareness 2. Self-Management 3. People Radar 4. People Skills As executive coaches, we have worked with many leaders at all levels over the years. Some were quite deficient at many elements of emotional intelligence and needed some basic training in working effectively with people. Most have been competent at several dimensions of emotional intelligence and wanted to build on their strengths in response to new challenges. This book was written for both groups. We wrote it as a practical guide for busy people who need a handy desk reference for a complicated subject. If you are a manager, use it to coach others, to prepare performance evaluations, to coach yourself. If you are coaching others, use it to help define and hone in on peoples strengths and weaknesses.

 Rating:  - Well-PresentedA really nice little reference book for your leadership and coaching book shelf. Well-organized and well-written. Great for managers who are working on their people skills. Rating: - Quite Helpful Guide to EIIf you want a book without a lot of fluff and filler material, this is a good choice. It gives clear definitions for the various parts of emotional intelligence, short stories to illustrate the point, and then some recommendations for improving in each area. There are a lot of books out there on emotional intelligence. But they seem to spend more time and words on the research behind it than on what to about it. This one spends no time on the research and everything is geared to understanding ... Read More Rating:  - Emotional Intelligence & LeadershipVery interesting. Connects the dots between all of the parts of emotional intelligence and leadership. Each chapter has a one-page story that illustrates a leader applying the competency. You can tell the authors are executive coaches and not academic types. Rating: - A Useful Book for ManagersI am a manager in a large company and have about 10 managers and team leaders who report to me. Most of the problems and issues I deal with on Performance Evaluations have to do with people skills, not technical competence. I also do a lot of one-on-one coaching with my folks. I realize that emotional intelligence is at the root of a lot of problems. I've read 2 of Goleman's books on the subject, but found them to be too academic with most of the books spent trying to convince me that emotional ... Read More Rating: - Extremely readably and practical...This is a wonderfully practical book about EI for the busy manager or professional. I already knew about the theories around EI -- what I wanted were pragmatic tips for improving how I can relate to or influence others. This book had them. Highly recommended.
