| Summary: | This "primer" on EQ is filled with ideas on how to put emotional intelligence to use in your own life. Anyone can have the title of "manager". However, true leaders, those who do the right things as well as doing thing right, are a rare breed. But it doesn't have to be this way. One of the keys to becoming a model, as opposed to just a little, is emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence quotient (or EQ) encompasses qualities that go beyond general intellectual intelligence and technical competency. EQ includes self-awareness, self-control, self-confidence, motivation, empathy, and competencies in the social environment. It is these EQ qualities that are the hallmark of a true leader. EQ skills can be learned. This pocket guide will help a leader assess where she or he is weak and give concrete suggestions to strengthen EQ, resulting in a more successful career and a more satisfying life. The guide is written in a straightforward and supportive style that provides the reader with both help and hope. In this time of unprecedented change and daily challenges, you cannot afford to be without competence in EQ.
