The Emotionally Intelligent Leader by Daniel GolemanThis compilation of three of the author's bestselling HBR articles shows the direct ties between emotional intelligence and measurable business results. In "What Makes a Leader," Goleman shares his research that found that truly effective leaders are distinguished by a high degree of emotional intelligence. Without it, a person can have first-class training, an incisive mind, and an endless supply of good ideas, but he or she still won't be a great leader. In "Leadership That Gets Results," Goleman draws on research that outlines six distinct leadership styles, each one springing from different components of emotional intelligence. In "The Focused Leader," Goleman explains why focus is crucial to great leadership. Focused leaders are in touch with their feelings, can control their impulses, are aware of how others see them, and can weed out distractions and allow their minds to roam widely, free of preconceptions.
