The New Leaders

Goleman's international bestseller 'Emotional Intelligence' forever changed our concept of 'being smart', proving that emotional intelligence (EI) - how we handle ourselves and our relationships - matters more than IQ, technical skill and educational success.

Now he explores the consequences of EI for leaders and organisations. Linking organisational success or failure to 'primal leadership'. In this book he argues that a leader's emotions are contagious, and must resonate energy and enthusiasm if an organisation is to thrive.
