The Emotionally Intelligent Leader

By: Daniel Goleman

Narrated by: Mike Lenz

Become a better leader by improving your emotional intelligence.

Best-selling author Daniel Goleman first brought the concept of emotional intelligence (EI) to the forefront of business through his articles in Harvard Business Review, establishing EI as an indispensable trait for leaders. The Emotionally Intelligent Leader brings together three of Goleman's best-selling HBR articles.

In "What Makes a Leader?" Goleman explores research that found that truly effective leaders are distinguished by high levels of self-awareness and sharp social skills. In "The Focused Leader", Goleman explains neuroscience research that proves that "being focused" is more than filtering out distractions while concentrating on one thing. In "Leadership That Gets Results", Goleman draws on research to outline six distinct leadership styles, each one springing from different components of emotional intelligence. Together, these three articles guide leaders to recognize the direct ties between EI and measurable business results.

Great information

I enjoyed this audible book because it provided great information regarding business practices good leaders do in order to achieve success.
Thank you

Great overview of the subject

Perfect for talking points and broad understanding of emotional intelligence and leadership styles and utilizing self awareness and maturity.

Great Concepts

As common sense as the concepts may seem, if not paying attention to them and actively working on improving, you aren't doing your subordinates and yourself justice. Take notes!

Small but mighty!

This was a quick audiobook to get through and something good to put on even if you’re in the middle of working. I think this book will help you understand where you land on emotional intelligence. I think this is definitely a good listen for upcoming leaders or individual contributors who are aspiring to be leaders one day. I can personally say that it helped me understand my own management style in regards to emotional intelligence, and I feel pretty good about where I am. ultimately the biggest lesson is that there are multiple styles each of them have their own pros and cons however, it’s really just important that you as a leader and just as a person in general are very self-aware of how you interact with people in life and in your professional environment. It also brought a good point that just because a particular style that you use works with one person doesn’t mean it’s gonna work with someone else so you have to be readily able to pivot your style when needed. It definitely recommends this audiobook.
