I find congruence between what the book offers on Executive EQ, and what we offer in our Executive Development programs for individuals and teams, as well as organisation-wide large scale change programs. It is my recommendation that this book forms part of required reading by all executives that seek to create highly competitive and transformed organisations. Our own socio-political, and economic challenges in South Africa, require that we have in our midst, abundance of high levels of Executive EQ, to create a highly competitive nation.Executive EQ

Recognize and respect emotional distance. Keep renewing yourself.

The low rating is mainly because the book is quite old. There have been newer books which are better and summarize the topic better.

Very important book, a must read for all business executives. Written in a very engaging and heart-warming manner. Highly recommended!

The authors make the point that leaders must exhibit Emotional Intelligence, not just IQ to be successful. There are 4 cornerstones of emotional intelligence: 1) emotional literacy (getting in touch w/ your emotions); 2) emotional fitness (authentic presence & building trust); 3) emotional depth (applied integrity, influence w/o authority) & 4) emotional alchemy (intuitive flow, opportunity sensing & creating the future). An updated edition (the book was written in 1996) w/ updated business examples would be an improvement. I found the best parts of the book were the personal stories like when where one of the authors describes his encounters in Tibet.

As a very visual person I don't usually like business books that are all words.

I read this one from cover to cover so it must have had an impact.

In fact if you want a good introduction to EQ in business this is pretty good. It helps identify issues.

My one criticism is that it lacks solutions.

This is an interesting and eye-opening book on emotional intelligence in leadship and organizations. The author claims "EQ" is more importnat than "IQ."
