Daniel Goleman, el célebre autor de La inteligencia emocional, defiende, junto a los coaturoes de este libro, que el liderazgo está estrechamente vinculado a las emociones. Así, para ser un buen líder hay que cultivar el arte de la resonancia, saberse proyectar de forma positiva con la finalidad de aquellos a quienes se dirige, despertando en ellos distintas reacciones emotivas que van desde el humor, las pasiones, el entusiasmo, la emotividad, hasta el compromiso.

Daniel Goleman's international bestseller Emotional Intelligence forever changed our concept of being smart, showing how emotional intelligence (EI) - how we handle ourselves and our relationships - can determine life success more than IQ. Then, Working with Emotional Intelligence revealed how stellar career performance also depends on EI. Now, Goleman teams with renowned EI researchers Richard Boyatzis and Annie McKee to explore the role of emotional intelligence in leadership. Unveiling neuroscientific links between organizational success or failure and primal leadership, the authors argue that a leader's emotions are contagious. If a leader resonates energy and enthusiasm, an organization thrives; if a leader spreads negativity and dissonance, it flounders. This breakthrough concept charges leaders with driving emotions in the right direction to have a positive impact on earnings or strategy. Drawing from decades of analysis within world-class organizations, the authors show that resonant leaders - whether CEOs or managers, coaches or politicians - excel not just through skill and smarts, but by connecting with others using EI competencies like empathy and self-awareness. And they employ up to six leadership styles - from visionary to coaching to pacesetting - fluidly interchanging them as the situation demands.The authors identify a proven process through which leaders can learn to: assess, develop, and sustain personal EI competencies over time; inspire and motivate people; cultivate resonant leadership throughout teams and organizations; and, leverage resonance to increase bottom-line performance. The book that no leader in any walk of life can afford to miss, this unforgettable work transforms the art of leadership into the science of results. Daniel Goleman is Codirector of the Consortium for Research on Emotional Intelligence in Organizations at Rutgers University. Richard Boyatzis is Professor and Chair of the Department of Organizational Behavior at the Weatherhead School of Management at Case Western Reserve University. Annie McKee serves on the faculty of the University of Pennsylvania Graduate School of Education and consults to business and organization leaders worldwide.

Un penetrante análisis de las diversas formas de autoengaño para protegernos de la ansiedad, el fracaso y el dolor. Un penetrante análisis de las diversas formas en que los seres humanos nos autoengañamos para protegernos de la ansiedad, el fracaso y el dolor. Goleman encuentra evidencias de ello en todos los niveles: desde la actividad mental individual a la dinamica de toda una sociedad. Asi entendido, el autoengaño ha de considerarse un mecanismo psicologico de defensa contra los dolorosos embates del mundo exterior. El cerebro humano es capaz de filtrar selectivamente la informacion que recibe, y de esa manera disminuye la conciencia de la memoria y las percepciones negativas. Este mecanismo crea un punto ciego que bloquea la atencion y disminuye el impacto de las decepciones. Pero aunque el autoengaño es en la mayoria de las ocasiones beneficioso para la estabilidad psiquica y emocional ya que su funcion es precisamente preservarla, a veces puede ser peligroso y perjudicial, tanto a nivel individual como social.

Emotional Intelligence was an international phenomenon, appearing on the New York Times bestseller list for over a year and selling more than 5 million copies worldwide. Now, once again, Daniel Goleman has written a groundbreaking synthesis of the latest findings in biology and brain science, revealing that we are 'wired to connect' and the surprisingly deep impact of our relationships on every aspect our lives. Far more than we are consciously aware, our daily encounters with parents, spouses, bosses, and even strangers, shape our brains and affect cells throughout our bodies, down to the level of our genes - for good or ill. In Social Intelligence, Daniel Goleman explores an emerging new science with startling implications for our interpersonal world. Its most fundamental discovery: we are designed for sociability, constantly engaged in a 'neural ballet' that connects us brain-to-brain with those around us. Goleman explains the surprising accuracy of first impressions, the basis of charisma and emotional power, the complexity of sexual attraction, and how we detect lies. He describes the 'dark side' of social intelligence, from narcissism to Machiavellianism and psychopathy. He also reveals our astonishing capacity for 'mindsight', as well as the tragedy of those, like autistic children, whose mindsight is impaired. Is there a way to raise our children to be happy? What is the basis of a nourishing marriage? How can business leaders and teachers inspire the best in those they lead and teach? How can groups divided by prejudice and hatred come to live together in peace? (...)

In this series of discussions, the Dalai Lama and a group of leading scientists and philosophers examine some of the most pressing emotional issues facing people today, and consider the solutions that Buddhism and modern techniques offer.

Do you have what it takes to succeed in your career? The secret of success is not what they taught you in school. What matters most is not IQ, not a business school degree, not even technical know-how or years of expertise. The single most important factor in job performance and advancement is emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence is actually a set of skills that anyone can acquire, and in this practical guide, Daniel Goleman identifies them, explains their importance, and shows how they can be fostered. For leaders, emotional intelligence is almost 90 percent of what sets stars apart from the mediocre. As Goleman documents, it's the essential ingredient for reaching and staying at the top in any field, even in high-tech careers. And organizations that learn to operate in emotionally intelligent ways are the companies that will remain vital and dynamic in the competitive marketplace of today—and the future. Comprehensively researched, crisply written, and packed with fascinating case histories of triumphs, disasters, and dramatic turnarounds, Working with Emotional Intelligence may be the most important business book you'll ever read. Drawing on unparalleled access to business leaders around the world and studies in more than 500 organizations, Goleman documents an astonishing fact: in determining star performance in every field, emotional intelligence matters twice as much as IQ or technical expertise. Readers also discover how emotional competence can be learned. Goleman analyzes five key sets of skills and vividly shows how they determine who is hired and who is fired in the top corporations in the world. He also provides guidelines for training in the "emotionally intelligent organization," in chapters that no one, from manager to CEO, should miss. Working with Emotional Intelligence could prove to be the most important reference for bottom-line businesspeople in the first decades of the 21st century.
