Emotional Intelligence for Project Managers

The People Skills You Need to Achieve Outstanding Results, 2nd Edition

By: Anthony Mersino PMP

Narrated by: Ramon De Ocampo

Research indicates that emotional intelligence (EI) accounts for an astonishing 70-80 percent of management success. Technical expertise just isn't enough anymore: Project managers need strong interpersonal skills and the ability to recognize emotional cues in order to lead their teams to success.

Emotional Intelligence for Project Managers introduces listeners to all facets of EI and shows how emotions can be leveraged to meet project goals. They'll learn how to:

• Set the tone and direction for the project
• Communicate effectively
• Motivate, inspire, and engage their team
• Encourage flexibility and collaboration
• Deal productively with stress, criticism, and change
• Establish the kind of high morale that attracts top performers
• And more

The second edition includes several expanded sections on self-awareness and self-management as well as a new chapter on using EI to lead Agile Teams and a close look at Servant Leadership. Without the people skills necessary to lead effectively, even the most care fully orchestrated project can fall apart. This indispensable guide gives project managers the tools they need to create winning teams and get the job done right and on time.

Excellent insights, techniques and tools

The tools and techniques are well organized and presented clearly. They are supported with real life anecdotes about situations in project teams. Should be a "must read" for project managers.

Fantastic Book!

Emotional Intelligence for Project Managers is essential book not just for project managers but for everyone. Learning to be self-aware and have social awareness in the dynamic field of project management is absolutely critical. As project managers we manage working through others so being able to empathetically engage others I’d absolutely essential for project success.

Excellent book

Excellent book that was expertly narrated. I want to buy it as an ongoing reference book.

A robot's guide to working with humans

Some decent material, but also written from such a robot place of erudition that it feels empty. if you have never worked on a project before, interacted with others in a workplace, or are a robot, this book will be 100% helpful in your endeavors. For most professionals looking to develop themselves, the usefulness will vary.

great skills to learn!

Even if you are not a project manager, the advice and methodologies outlined in this book are beneficial in any work environment.
