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.

As business reinvents itself at broadband speed, what makes leaders effective has inevitably been transformed. Old assumptions and old modes no longer hold; a new style of leadership that works has emerged amidst the chaos of change. This new leader excels in the art of relationship - the singular expertise which the changing business climate renders indispensable. Excellence is being defined in interpersonal terms as companies have stripped out layers of managers, as corporations merge across national boundaries, and as customers and suppliers redefine the web of connection. Daniel Goleman argues that emotionally intelligent leaders are now must-haves for business. Many readers have been left with So now what do I do? and The New Leaders aims to answer that question by laying out the map for transforming leadership in individuals, in teams and organizations.

New York Times science writer Goleman argues that our emotions play a much greater role in thought, decision making and individual success than is commonly acknowledged. He defines "emotional intelligence"?a trait not measured by IQ tests?as a set of skills, including control of one''s impulses, self-motivation, empathy and social competence in interpersonal relationships. Although his highly accessible survey of research into cognitive and emotional development may not convince readers that this grab bag of faculties comprise a clearly recognizable, well-defined aptitude, his report is nevertheless an intriguing and practical guide to emotional mastery. In marriage, emotional intelligence means listening well and being able to calm down. In the workplace, it manifests when bosses give subordinates constructive feedback regarding their performance. Goleman also looks at pilot programs in schools from New York City to Oakland, Calif., where kids are taught conflict resolution, impulse control and social skills.
