About this title: In this book on leadership and organizations, Daniel Goleman follows up on his best-selling EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE, whose groundbreaking concepts took the business community and the educational world by storm. Here, Goleman and two fellow researchers identify the qualities that make a good CEO (and other leaders) and the styles that "resonate" through a company, energizing the workforce and making the company successful. The authors. show what works and what does not work, and then explain how to develop these skills and competencies throughout the organization.

"This book has a lot of good information on how to become a better leader and to understand how using the emotional competencies as self awareness and empathy can help create success within a workforce. It just not tells you what but how you are able to implement and what pitfalls to avoid.
However it seemed to drag on towards the end adding in a lot of information which I did not believe added a lot to the book. The last 50-100 pages seemed to drag on after flying through the first 150 pages on the book."
"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."
