Bøger af Daniel Goleman

Hvad betyder vores IK?Daniel Goleman gør op med den gængse opfattelse af, hvor afgørende vores IK er. Bogen er blevet til på grundlag af mange års undersøgelser, og Goleman beskriver, hvad det er, der spiller ind, når nogle mennesker med en høj IK roder med deres liv, mens andre med en mere ydmyg IK klarer tilværelsen med bravur.Han understreger betydningen af følelsesmæssig intelligens, som hviler på kvaliteter som selverkendelse og selvbeherskelse, vedholdenhed, flid og motivation, indlevelsesevne og situationsfornemmelse. Disse kvaliteter er betegnende for mennesker, der udmærker sig i tilværelsen, hvis nære forhold fungerer, og som arbejdsmæssigt klarer sig suverænt. Disse personer er kendetegnet ved selvstændighed og selvdisciplin, næstekærlighed og medfølelse - basale evner, som er nødvendige, hvis vores samfund skal blomstre.Goleman påviser, at mangel på følelsesmæssig intelligens medfører personlige omkostninger som f.eks. problemer med partnere, forældrerolle og psykisk sundhed. Han gør opmærksom på vigtigheden af, at vi styrker vores børns følelsesmæssige intelligens gennem deres opvækst, og han giver detaljeret viden om, hvordan vi på bedste vis kan anvende denne nye indsigt.FØLELSERNES INTELLIGENS (Emotional Intelligence) udkom i USA i 1995 og lå straks efter på toppen af bestsellerlisterne. Den er nu oversat til adskillige sprog og markerer sig overalt som en af vor tids vigtigste bøger inden for nyere psykologisk forskning.Daniel Goleman, Ph.D., journalist og forfatter, skriver bl.a. om adfærds- og hjerneforskning i The New York Times. Han er tidligere chefredaktør på Psychology Today.

A leader's singular job is to get results. But even with all the leadership training programs and "e;expert"e; advice available, effective leadership still eludes many people and organizations. One reason, says Daniel Goleman, is that such experts offer advice based on inference, experience, and instinct, not on quantitative data. Now, drawing on research of more than 3,000 executives, Goleman explores which precise leadership behaviors yield positive results. He outlines six distinct leadership styles, each one springing from different components of emotional intelligence. Each style has a distinct effect on the working atmosphere of a company, division, or team, and, in turn, on its financial performance. Coercive leaders demand immediate compliance. Authoritative leaders mobilize people toward a vision. Affiliative leaders create emotional bonds and harmony. Democratic leaders build consensus through participation. Pacesetting leaders expect excellence and self-direction. And coaching leaders develop people for the future. The research indicates that leaders who get the best results don't rely on just one leadership style; they use most of the styles in any given week. Goleman details the types of business situations each style is best suited for, and he explains how leaders who lack one or more of these styles can expand their repertories. He maintains that with practice leaders can switch among leadership styles to produce powerful results, thus turning the art of leadership into a science.The Harvard Business Review Classics series offers you the opportunity to make seminal Harvard Business Review articles a part of your permanent management library. Each highly readable volume contains a groundbreaking idea that continues to shape best practices and inspire countless managers around the world-and will have a direct impact on you today and for years to come.

Features two books: "Emotional Intelligence" - It argues that our view of human intelligence is far too narrow, and that our emotions play a role in thought, decision making and individual success; and, "Working with Emotional Intelligence" - demonstrates that emotional intelligence at work matters twice as much as cognitive abilities such as IQ.

Dalai Lama er bekymret over vores planets udvikling, og han bekymrer sig for hvert enkelt menneskes velbefindende. Hans vision er at styrke menneskets medfølende side. Vi skal udøve selvkontrol og emotionel hygiejne, som han kalder det – vi skal rydde op i sindet for at give plads til medfølelse. Dalai Lama vil slå ned på mange landes omfattende korruption med medfølende magt; han vil skabe lighed mellem mennesker med en medfølende økonomi, og han vil undervise i medfølelse for at give fremtidige generationer værktøj til at skabe sunde og holdbare samfund. Det er hans vision. Daniel Goleman har over årene opbygget et tæt venskab med Dalai Lama. Denne bog er blevet til gennem en række møder og samtaler og udgives i forbindelse Dalai Lamas 80-årsfødselsdag.

Opmærksomhed er en undervurderet mental egenskab. Vi bruger den hele tiden, og vi har vænnet os til, at vi helt automatisk vender voresopmærksomhed mod det, vi er interesserede i.Men opmærksomhed er ikke bare tilfældig. Det er et meget stærkt og vigtigt grundlag for vores koncentration og vores læring. Opmærksomhedener afgørende for, at vi kan mærke vores egne følelser, at vi kan håndtere vores følelsesmæssige reaktioner, at vi kan fornemme andres følelser og aflæse deres intentioner og utallige andre grundlæggende funktioner. Er vi ikke i stand til at holde fokus, bliver vi overfladiske og mister det dybe engagement i verden omkring os.Goleman kalder fokus for selvreflekterende opmærksomhed – det at vi er i stand til at være bevidste om vores mentale tilstand. Vi kan optræne denne egenskab, og vi bør gøre det, for den er afgørende for vores succes i alle livets gøremål. Denne bog giver grundviden og masser af inspiration til at finde og træne opmærksomheden, så vi igen bliver i stand til at fokusere på det, der er vigtigt for os.

Gestionar el lado humano del trabajo Las investigaciones de Daniel Goleman, psicólogo y coautor de Primal Leadership, han demostrado que la inteligencia emocional es un determinante más poderoso del buen liderazgo que la competencia técnica, el coeficiente intelectual o la visión. Influir en los que nos rodean y apoyar nuestro propio bienestar requiere que seamos conscientes de nosotros mismos, que sepamos cuándo y cómo regular nuestras reacciones emocionales y que comprendamos las respuestas emocionales de los que nos rodean. No es de extrañar que la inteligencia emocional se haya convertido en uno de los criterios cruciales para la contratación y la promoción. Pero por suerte no es sólo un rasgo innato: La inteligencia emocional se compone de habilidades que todos podemos aprender y mejorar. Managing the human side of work Research by Daniel Goleman, a psychologist and coauthor of Primal Leadershipp, has shown that emotional intelligence is a more powerful determinant of good leadership than technical competence, IQ, or vision. Influencing those around us and supporting our own well-being requires us to be self-aware, know when and how to regulate our emotional reactions, and understand the emotional responses of those around us. No wonder emotional intelligence has become one of the crucial criteria in hiring and promotion. But luckily it's not just an innate trait: Emotional intelligence is composed of skills that all of us can learn and improve on.
