HBR Guide to Emotional Intelligence

Harvard Business Review , Daniel Goleman , Susan David and others

Research by Daniel Goleman, a psychologist and coauthor of “Primal Leadership,” has shown that emotional intelligence is a more powerful determinant of good leadership than technical competence, IQ, or vision.

Influencing those around us and supporting our own well-being requires us to be self-aware, know when and how to regulate our emotional reactions, and understand the emotional responses of those around us. In this this guide, you’ll learn how to: determine your emotional intelligence strengths and weaknesses; understand and manage your emotional reactions; deal with difficult people; make smarter decisions; bounce back from tough times; help your team develop emotional intelligence.
