ABOUT Daniel Goleman

“Daniel Goleman brought the notion of Emotional Intelligence ‘EI’ to prominence as an alternative to more traditional measures of IQ with his 1995 mega-best-seller ‘Emotional Intelligence’.

Since the publication of that book, conferences and academic institutes have sprung up dedicated to the idea. EI is taught in public schools, and corporate leaders have adopted it as a new way of thinking about success and leadership.

EI, and ones ‘EIQ’ can be an explanation of why some ‘average’ people are incredibly successful, while ‘geniuses’ sometimes fail to live up to their promise. The interest in emotional intelligence in the workplace stems from the widespread recognition that these abilities: self-awareness, self-management, empathy and social skill separate the most successful workers and leaders from the average.

This is especially true in roles like the professions and higher level executives, where everyone is about as smart as everyone else, and how people manage themselves and their relationships gives the best and edge.”
