Daniel Goleman, Richard Boyatzis, Annie McKee

Daniel Goleman's international bestseller "Emotional Intelligence" forever changed our concept of "being smart," showing how emotional intelligence (El) - how we handle ourselves and our relationships - can determine life success more than 10. Then, "Working with Emotional Intelligence" revealed how stellar career performance also depends on El. Now, Goleman teams with renowned El researchers Richard Boyatzis and Annie McKee to explore the role of emotional intelligence in leadership. Unveiling neuroscientific links between organizational success or failure and "primal leadership," the authors argue that a leader's emotions are contagious. If a leader resonates energy and enthusiasm, an organization thrives; if a leader spreads negativity and dissonance, it flounders. This breakthrough concept charges leaders with driving emotions in the right direction to have a positive impact on earnings or strategy. Drawing from decades of analysis within world-class organizations,...

Peter Block

In this revolutionary book, Peter Block shows how a far-reaching redistribution of power, privilege, and wealth will radically change all areas of organizational governance, and shows why this is our best hope to enable democracy to thrive, our spiritualand ethical values to be lived out, and economic success to be sustained. Organizations that practice stewardship, Block explains, will succeed in their marketplace by choosing service over self-interest at every point and by a far-reaching redistribution of power, privilege, and wealth. Without this, little real change will result. Stewardship explains how to integrate the management of work and the doing of work, to redistribute purpose and power within an organization. It speaks about how thiscan affect work flow, quality control, performance appraisal, pay systems, supervisory methods, job design, and human resources. Managers who are dissatisfied with the superficial changes resulting from currently popular programs,...
