"This is one of the better books on leadership development that I've read. The content is definitely 5 stars but since the writing style is academic, it's not the most fun reading. It would be great for a class or an executive coaching program. Imagine what a writer like Malcolm Gladwell could do for this book!
Here are some of my thoughts and observations:
-The focus is very much on the development of emotionally intelligent leadership and how important such leaders are to successful organizations.
-Coming from a scientific background, I was hoping for more emphasis on the brain and neuroscience in the context of developing primal (i.e., emotionally intelligent) leadership.
-I was definitely more engaged in the first half of the book than in the second. For example, I found the categories of resonant vs. non-resonant leadership styles very useful.
Non-resonant leadership styles: 1. Setting the pace (very prominent among scientists and engineers who are promoted into management) 2. Command style
-The second part covered how to move forward -- How do I become a more emotionally intelligent leader? Boyatzis's method (presented below and in the book) is helpful. But this kind of change will definitely be a process -- not a short workshop or seminar -- that will involve both you as the leader and your team.
1. Develop a clear vision your ideal self, the person you want to become.
2. Reflect deeply on your real self - develop self knowledge about who you actually are right now. Identify strengths, which are where the ideal self and real self overlap, and identify weaknesses -- areas where the ideal and real self differ.
3. Develop a learning agenda which builds on strengths while reducing gaps.
4. Experiment with new behaviour, thoughts, and feelings and practicing new behaviors and skills.
5. Developing trusting relationships that help, support, and encourage each step of the process."
"Kind of new-agey. But a lot of it is common sense. People will like you more and listen to you more if you are nice to them. If you are positive person that rubs off on others..."
