HBR's 10 Must Reads on Emotional Intelligence MP3 CD – Unabridged, August 9, 2016

This book is an excellent collection of articles on leadership. It is an easy read and each article examines Emotional Intelligence from a unique viewpoint. The articles are both substantive and well written. Altogether, this book provides a diverse examination of Emotional Intelligence from 10 very different perspectives. Some of the topics are resilience, incivility in the workplace, performance feedback, and promoting inexperienced millennials. Since each chapter stands alone, the reader can easily finish a section and come back later without losing their train of thought.Emotional intelligence is a key ingredient in successful leaders. This book reinforces that point through its broad examination of this trait. Anyone who aspires to be a leader or who is already in a leadership position will certainly benefit from this book. All in all, just a great read.

I like HBR. I had to read this for a promotional test. It's good for anyone to read. Especially in my profession. It can be pretty dry though.

The hints were there that this was primarily for management and business purposes - an area of work I am not in - but I decided to read this any way. It is useful, but not for the casual reader. Had I looked deeper into how business-related it is, in terms of emotional intelligence, I probably would not have bought the book. Great resource though! I still read it, maybe I will change careers paths one day haha.

HBR books are always great. I like how they introduce you to each topic, provide case studies and examples, and wrap up key take away points in highlighted sections.

I am young in the workforce by definition. I work in the Silicon Valley tech scene and very quickly promoted to a leadership position as our young company scaled. I personally think management books are very bias and you need to be careful on which lessons you heed and by whom. Additionally, this book strays away from individual perspectives on the subject and focuses more on the qualified research over decades of material presented to the Harvard Business Review. Personally speaking, the book taught me the most on leadership and management and I 100% performed at my peak after applying these principles with my team. I will not spoil anything, but there is one specific lesson I could reference form this publication that handedly changed my career, but I'll save it for those determined to strengthen their corporate arsenal as I did.

Keep in mind, this is geared toward the business professionals out there.

Highlights the importance of relationships in leadership impact. Emotional maturity EQ out ways IQ when it comes to moving teams to greatness.

So I bought this book “new” and when I opened the cover, there was a bunch of hair in between the cover and the first page… straight hair, about 2 inches long, a fair amount of it ( like a big pinch with all fingers)I don’t know how to feel about this…
