520 _aI've worked with hundreds of leaders from around the world over the last 20 years. This experience has shown me that Emotional Intelligence can make the difference between a good and an extraordinary leader. At the Heart of Leadership shows clearly and precisely why that is true. This book is easy to read, understand and apply in everyday business, even for a non- English native speaker. It is written in a very engaging way and motivates one to learn about leadership at its best. --Martina Mathis, Leadership Development Manager, Siemens AG Munich/Germany ; ; I know, I know, when you hear the term 'Emotional Intelligence' your face contorts into a sarcastic look and you exclaim, 'Isn't this just another touchy feely kum-bye-ya concept' then roll your eyes. I am here to tell you it is NOT. ; If you are a leader that wishes to achieve results while supporting healthy growth and development of yourself and your employees, this is the book for you.
