Publisher's Synopsis
If there was one valuable skill set that you could own and would guarantee your success as a leader, what would it be?
Is emotional intelligence the first thing that springs to mind?
Most probably, it's not. Yet, it is going to be a skill that you need the most.
Have you ever asked yourself why some people are more successful than others?
What is it that makes them leaders that stand out in the crowd?
Their work ethic and personality could be contributing factors, but that is only one part of the story. The rest of the story is one that only emotional intelligence can tell.
We are emotional. Sometimes, we respond based on those emotions. We even make decisions based on those emotions.
Whether it turns out to be a good thing or not depends entirely on the way we learn how to control these emotions.
Emotions are powerful. Every choice, every decision, and every step that you make in life is guided by your emotions.
They have the ability to consume you completely and take over your every movement and thought. They can cause you to react impulsively in ways that you might not otherwise do, and they are very hard to control unless you have the necessary emotional intelligence skills to reign them in.
This is not a subject you're going to find taught in school. Yet, it is one of the most important lessons that a person can learn, especially if they aspire to become great leaders.
This is the one skill that will allow you to navigate through life effectively - not just at work alone. It is this exact trait that you need to develop if you want to find yourself in a leadership position one day.
Are you already a leader? Then, EQ skills are going to give you that nudge from good to great.
Emotional Intelligence for Leadership takes an in-depth approach at what you need to do to improve your skills to succeed in business, as well as how to use Emotional Intelligence (EQ/EI) skills to your advantage.
Being a great leader is not just about learning how to manage people.
It's about using social skills, self-awareness, and charisma to form meaningful relationships with the people under your leadership.
It is through EQ that you're able to influence your team in the right way that reaps the biggest benefit.

It teaches you to remain calm, focused, and in control in the moments when you need it most.
More importantly, it teaches you to handle the negative emotions and challenging situations that could threaten to disrupt your success.
