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.

This work explains the surprising accuracy of first impressions, the basis of charisma and emotional power, and more.

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.

Now three of those articles are collected here, each showing the direct ties between emotional intelligence and measurable business results.

A penetrating analysis of the ways in which we deceive ourselves in every day lives by the worldwide bestselling author of Emotional Intelligence

In his groundbreaking #1 bestseller Emotional Intelligence, Daniel Goleman revolutionized how we think about intelligence. Now, he reveals practical methods for using these inner resources to more readily enter an optimal state of high performance and satisfaction while avoiding burnout. There are moments when we achieve peak performance: An athlete plays a perfect game; a business has a quarter with once-in-a-lifetime profits. But these moments are often elusive, and for every amazing day, we may have a hundred ordinary and even unsatisfying days. Fulfillment doesn't come from isolated peak experiences, but rather from many consistent good days. So how do we sustain performance, while avoiding burnout and maintaining balance? In Optimal, Daniel Goleman and Cary Cherniss reveal how emotional intelligence can help us have a great day, any day. They explain how to set a realistic, attainable goal of feeling satisfied that you've had a productive day ? to consistently work at your 'optimal' level. Based on research of how hundreds of people build the inner architecture of having a good day, they sketch what an optimal state feels like, and show how emotional intelligence holds the key to our best performance.Optimal is the culmination of decades of scientific discoveries bearing on emotional intelligence. Enhanced emotional intelligence pays off in improved engagement, productivity, and more satisfying days. In this book, you'll find the keys to competence in emotional intelligence, and practical methods for applying this skill set more readily. It will equip you to become a highly effective leader and enable you to build an organizational culture that empowers workers to sustain high performance.

Daniel Goleman's international bestseller Emotional Intelligence changed our concept of "being smart," proving that emotional intelligence-how we handle ourselves and our relationships-matters more than IQ or technical skill in educational success. His next bestseller, Working with Emotional Intelligence, proved that career success also depends primarily on emotional intelligence.Now, Goleman teams with Richard Boyatzis and Annie McKee, experts on emotional intelligence research, to explore the consequences of emotional intelligence for leaders and organizations. The authors argue that a leader's emotions are contagious, and must resonate energy and enthusiasm if an organization is to thrive.Through analyses and examples, the authors show that resonant leaders excel not just through industry savvy but by leveraging emotional intelligence competencies like empathy and self-awareness. They also adopt varying leadership styles-from visionary to coaching to commanding-as the situation demands.Identifying the ways in which resonant leadership can be learned, the authors show how leaders can groom personal and organizational emotional intelligence to ignite outstanding performance. This audiobook transforms the art of leadership into the science of results.

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.

When asked to define the ideal leader, many would emphasize traits such as intelligence, toughness, determination, and vision-the qualities traditionally associated with leadership. Often left off the list are softer, more personal qualities-but they are also essential. Although a certain degree of analytical and technical skill is a minimum requirement for success, studies indicate that emotional intelligence may be the key attribute that distinguishes outstanding performers from those who are merely adequate. Psychologist and author Daniel Goleman first brought the term "e;emotional intelligence"e; to a wide audience with his 1995 book of the same name, and Goleman first applied the concept to business with a 1998 classic Harvard Business Review article. In his research at nearly 200 large, global companies, Goleman 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. The chief components of emotional intelligence-self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skill-can sound unbusinesslike, but Goleman found direct ties between emotional intelligence and measurable business results.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.

Although we all want to help the environment, our knowledge of what are 'green' choices is often so limited that we can do more harm than good. This book shows you: Why a T-shirt that claims it is '100% organic cotton' may be in fact no such thing; and, Why it's good to buy tulips from Kenya and wine from France.
