Het nieuwe leiderschap: emotionele intelligentie voor managers

by Daniel Goleman, Richard E. Boyatzis, Annie McKee

Goede managers hebben vrijwel allemaal een hoog IQ terwijl de emotionele intelligentie (het EQ) enorm uiteenloopt. Het is verleidelijk om er dus vanuit te gaan dat het IQ de belangrijkste factor is, maar dat is bedrieglijk. Intelligent zijn: dat is voor de manager een gegeven, maar emotioneel intelligent is lang niet iedereen, dus d is het terrain waarop het verschil gemaakt kan worden.
In Het nieuwe leiderschap zet Daniel Goleman, met behulp van Richard Boyatzis en Annie McKee, uiteen hoe de lessen uit Emotionele intelligentie in praktijk gebracht kunnen worden. Want dit nieuwe leiderschap is te leren. Het nieuwe leiderschap laat zien hoe iedereen dit potentieel in zichzelf en in anderen kan ontwikkelen. In het bedrijfsleven, maar ook in de politiek, het onderwijs, de gezondheidszorg en zelfs binnen het gezin kan dit nieuwe leiderschap voor verbluffende verbeteringen zorgen.

About the author

Author of Emotional Intelligence and psychologist Daniel Goleman has transformed the way the world educates children, relates to family and friends, and conducts business. The Wall Street Journal ranked him one of the 10 most influential business thinkers.

Goleman’s Emotional Intelligence was on The New York Times best sellers list for a year-and-a-half. Named one of the 25 "Most Influential Business Management Books" by TIME, it has been translated into 40 languages. The Harvard Business Review called emotional intelligence (EI) “a revolutionary, paradigm-shattering idea.”

Goleman’s new book, Focus: The Hidden Driver of Excellence, argues that attention — a fundamental mental ability for success — has come under siege. Leadership that gets results demands a triple focus: on our inner world so we can manage ourselves; on others, for our relationships; and on the outer forces that shape our organizations and society itself.

His more recent books include The Brain and Emotional Intelligence, and Leadership: The Power of Emotional Intelligence - Selected Writings.

New Leaders follows on from Emotional Intelligence by the same author and summarises much of the previous book, leaving out most of the technical 'way the brain works' information included in the first book.

The first half of the book is applicable to just about anyone, and provided useful insight in effectively dealing with people, the need to be self-aware, and provides a very interesting list of the emotional intelligence leadership skills -- good leaders tend to have a least one key EI skill from each of the listed categories. I enjoyed the book as it called to my attention the skills I have and those I lack with a very positive message that skills that are lacked can be developed through mindfulness and practice in everyday life.

The last section "Building Emotionally Intelligent Organizations" is targeted at those in management positions (not me!)and focuses on methods to develop these skills throughout the leadership team to affect the entire organization.

Would say it a nice quick read to understand the behavioural pattern and to self-reflect ones own leadership style. One will never realise their blindspots, unless they read various behavioural traits. Would recommend for young professionals, stepping into leadership roles.

Indeed it's about new leadership styles

Interesting reading on Emotional Intelligence.

[Stuart Macalpine · Rating 3 out of 5]

Ok it isn't written by Gibbon or Dostoyevsky, and the prose is functional management speak; but the message is important and chimes with the current pendulum swing towards coaching, visionary and democratic leadership. It all makes good sense, and keeps a humanistic message at its core, that runs counter to industrial models of efficiency.

I have always felt that schools are communities, whose culture is the most valuable asset they have. Indeed, given I lived in a school for all of my young life, they were functionally my community, as well as theoretically so. Therefore I welcome the message that successful change works on a cultural level, and accompanies it with making work easy for people by removing bottlenecks and putting in place shared systems. But all these technical solutions can ever do is capitalise on an existing culture. British boarding schools have known this for a long time, and at times suffered from believing in this too much, and become filled with inertia, but the understanding that culture and shared behaviours, especially if driven by shared values and vision is the best a school can hope to achieve runs deeply in them, and in me.

The New Leaders by Daniel Goleman is Goleman's attempts to apply his Emotional Intelligence concept to the world of leadership and management.

After Goleman wrote Emotional Intelligence, both he and an entire self-help industry has been awakened with a new buzzword to try and take advantage of. The original book on Emotional Intelligence is very good and lays out the evidence of being more self-aware, emotionally stable and being able to connect with others in a very compelling way. Since then however, Goleman has been writing one after another book on emotional intelligence in different domains. All of them fall flat because his original already explained exactly why being more emotionally intelligent is something that will benefit everybody.

This book is no different. Emotional intelligence is already assumed to be a good thing and the rest of the book just stumbles into random leadership concepts and the odd confirming anecdote after another.

If you enjoyed Emotional Intelligence, stay clear of this book. The only interesting and valuable information of this book is the leadership styles and I'm sure this can be had somewhere else.

An important book to read, in the journey of become an inspiring leader. Best aimed for people have done some leadership and are looking to improve. It shows different ways of applying leadership depending on the context and encourages the use of different styles. The book demonstrates the importance of emotion and self awareness in leadership development.

[Jaclyn · Rating 3 out of 5]

Last chapter was the most helpful, in terms of new and actionable information. I'm not sure how compelling or relevant I found the highlighted leader "case studies" but that could be my fault, since I'm already familiar with and bought into EI, leadership styles and organizational climate. I also wasn't very impressed by the writing.

[Dave Bolton · Rating 3 out of 5]

I hated the layout and physical size of the book (the size of a paperback novel). I found many of the anecdotes tenuous. But there are some interesting and relevant points in there too. I'll probably summarise them on a small piece of paper and be done with the actual book.

[Merril Hope-brown · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent, thought provoking, well written book of interest to everyone interested in the human condition, especially those who have some leadership responsibility in their professional life. Goleman is such an easy writer to read and has such interesting things to say.

[Sam · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a book! Goleman, Boyaziz & McKee bring to fore the power of EI and its cascading impact in the workplace.
The resonance/dissonance leadership model is a must learn for all who intend to make any positive impact in today's world. The best book on organisational culture I've read so far.

[Fabrizio Stucchi · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great book, a must read for anyone interested in creating nurturing relationships in their life. It can be professional or personal life, but creating resonant relationships through Emotional Intelligence should be the most relevant thing in everybody's life.

Emotional intelligence, self awareness - applicable and interesting so far,

[Chris Green · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent. An easier read than the other Goleman's I've read. Recommended to anyone in a leadership position.

[Khayyam Hasanli · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent book. Very nice description of human traits, affecting leadership. One of the rare books, which I'm going to re-read. Actually deserves to be valuable reference book.
