Leading with Emotional Intelligence: Hands-On ... - always yours

PREFACE
and effectiveness. In addition, then I have a tried-and-true practice
I can use in my next consulting engagement.
Not fi nding this kind of book, I was inspired to create Leading
with Emotional Intelligence (an update of Leaders’ Playbook)
to fi ll the gap between theory and practice. This book, I hope, will
raise Emotional Intelligence for you, your direct reports or clients,
and your organization. It will add strategies and actions to your
toolbox, augment your work, and promote Star Performance in all
of your endeavors.
Over the last 30 years I have worked with more than 15,000
leaders in corporations, organizations, groups, and teams, always
looking for what works to separate the great from the good. What
are the specific endeavors that make them successful? Here you will
read the secrets of Star Performers, plus have me as your coach to
move into the top 10% of your field. Just doing a few of these “microinitiatives”
can create “macro impacts” on your performance.
Leading with Emotional Intelligence is part of a series of
resources for leaders to use to improve Emotional Intelligence.
Other resources and tools explore different competencies and the
secrets of Stars and successful coaches. The website www.leading
withei.com has free EI assessments, tools, and articles.
Leading with Emotional Intelligence allows you to discover
the secrets of Stars from a cross section of different industries
and helps you use the powerful strategies of a seasoned executive
coach. Like a successful coach’s playbook from professional
sports, this book should become well-worn and guarded from your
competitors!
