Por fin la tan esperada continuación del best-seller mundial Inteligencia emocional . Hoy, en un libro que habrá de revolucionar el mundo empresarial y profesional, Daniel Goleman redefine el criterio del éxito en el trabajo, así como las prioridades esenciales de las empresas. Habiendo tenido acceso a directores empresariales de todo el mundo, y tras haber estudiado el funcionamiento de más de quinientas organizaciones, Goleman revela las aptitudes que definen a los profesionales más competentes. Su conclusión es que, desde los puestos de trabajo más modestos hasta los altos cargos directivos, el factor determinante no es ni el cociente intelectual, ni los diplomas universitarios, ni la pericia técnica: es la inteligencia emocional. Autoconciencia, autoestima, autocontrol, empatía, dedicación, integridad, habilidad para comunicar, pericia para iniciar y aceptar cambios: Goleman demuestra que éstas son las competencias más relevantes en el ámbito laboral. Los profesionales más brillantes destacan no sólo por sus logros personales, sino por su capacidad para trabajar en equipo, para maximizar la producción del grupo. Por contra, los profesionales incapaces de afrontar los cambios o conflictos resultan tóxicos para la organización entera. Afortunadamente, y como lo prueban los últimos estudios en conducta humana y neurociencia, todos tenemos el potencial de mejorar nuestra inteligencia emocional en cualquier momento de nuestra carrera. Precisamente, Goleman aporta las pautas específicas y científicamente probadas para conseguirlo. Con toda seguridad, La práctica de la inteligencia emocional es un libro que habrá de cambiar la estructura de las organizaciones empresariales, así como la actitud de sus dirigentes durante las próximas décadas. Un libro de lectura imprescindible.

El Coeficiente de Inteligencia (CI) ¿determina nuestro destino? Mucho menos de lo que pensamos. En este fascinante y persuasivo libro, Daniel Goleman sostiene que nuestra visión de la inteligencia humana es estrecha, pues soslaya un amplio abanico de capacidades esenciales para la vida. Soslaya lo que él llama inteligencia emocional. Apoyándose en la más moderna investigación sobre el cerebro y la conducta, el autor explica por qué personas con un elevado coeficiente intelectual fracasan en sus empresas vitales, mientras que otras con un CI más modesto triunfan clamorosamente. La inteligencia emocional es una forma de interacción con el mundo que tiene muy en cuenta los sentimientos, y engloba habilidades tales como el control de los impulsos, la autoconciencia, la motivación, el entusiasmo, la perseverancia, la empatía, la agilidad mental, etc. Ellas configuran rasgos de carácter como la autodisciplina, la compasión o el altruismo, que resultan indispensables para una buena y creativa adaptación social. El déficit de inteligencia emocional repercute en mil aspectos de la vida cotidiana, desde problemas matrimoniales hasta trastornos de salud. El descuido de la inteligencia emocional puede arruinar muchas carreras y, en el caso de niños y adolescentes, conducir a la depresión, trastronos alimentarios, agresividad, delincuencia. Ahora bien, todos podemos fomentar y robustecer nuestra inteligencia emocional, y el autor nos proporciona una amplia y detallada guía para conseguirlo. Basándose en la forma en que los niños aprenden a modelar sus circuitos cerebrales, Goleman nos enseña también un programa pedagógico para el desarrollo integral del ser humano. El futuro no está escrito en ninguna parte; la inteligencia emocional no es un parámetro fijado desde el momento del nacimiento: cabe desarrollarla, cuidarla, fomentarla. Inteligencia emocional se ha convertido, desde su aparición en los Estados Unidos, en un best-seller mundial.

Emotional Intelligence was an international phenomenon, appearing on the New York Times bestseller list for over a year and selling more than five 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 of 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. Our reactions to others, and theirs to us, have a far-reaching biological impact, sending out cascades of hormones that regulate everything from our hearts to our immune systems, making good relationships act like vitamins—and bad relationships like poisons. We can “catch” other people’s emotions the way we catch a cold, and the consequences of isolation or relentless social stress can be life-shortening. 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? The answers to these questions may not be as elusive as we once thought. And Goleman delivers his most heartening news with powerful conviction: we humans have a built-in bias toward empathy, cooperation, and altruism–provided we develop the social intelligence to nurture these capacities in ourselves and others.

Emotional Intelligence Does IQ define our destiny? Daniel Goleman argues that our view of human intelligence is far too narrow, and that our emotions play a major role in thought, decision making and individual success. Self-awareness, impulse control, persistence, motivation, empathy and social deftness are all qualities that mark people who excel: whose relationships flourish, who are stars in the workplace. With new insights into the brain architecture underlying emotion and rationality, Goleman shows precisely how emotional intelligence can be nurtured and strengthened in all of us. Working with Emotional Intelligence Do you want to be more successful at work? Do you want to improve your chances of promotion? Do you want to get on better with your colleagues? Daniel Goleman draws on unparalleled access to business leaders around the world and the thorough research that is his trademark. He demonstrates that emotional intelligence at work matters twice as much as cognitive abilities such as IQ or technical expertise in this inspiring sequel.

At the beginning of the twentieth century psychologists discovered ways and means to measure intelligence that developed into an obsession with IQ. In the mid 1990''s, Daniel Goleman popularised research into emotional intelligence, EQ, pointing out that EQ is a basic requirement for the appropriate use of IQ. In this century, there is enough collective evidence from psychology, neurology, anthropology and cognitive science to show us that there is a third ''Q'', ''SQ'' or Spiritual Intelligence. SQ is uniquely human and, the authors argue, the most fundamental intelligence. SQ is what we use to develop our longing and capacity for meaning, vision and value. It allows us to dream and to strive. It underlies the things we believe in, and the role our beliefs and values play in the actions that we take and the way we shape our lives.

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.

¿Por qué algunas personas parecen dotadas de un don especial que les permite vivir bien aunque no sean las que más se destacan por su inteligencia? ¿Por qué no siempre el alumno más inteligente termina siendo el más rico, el que más éxito tiene? ¿Por qué unos son más capaces que otros de enfrentar contratiempos, superar obstáculos y ver las dificultades bajo una óptica distinta? Un nuevo concepto viene a darnos la respuesta a estos interrogante. Es la inteligencia emocional la que nos permite tomar conciencia de nuestras emociones, comprender los sentimientos de los demás, tolerar las presiones y frustraciones que soportamos en el trabajo, acentuar nuestra capacidad de trabajar en equipo y adoptar una actitud empática y social, que nos brindará más posibilidades de desarrollo personal. La revolucionaria obra de Goleman presenta ideas práctica para padres y maestros, y las innovadoras estrategias que plantea ayudarán a erradicar la violencia y otros rasgos negativos que son la causa de muchos males que aquejan a nuestra familia y nuestra sociedad.
