Early on in this accessible, informative book, the author writes: "Although your IQ may help you secure the job interview, your EQ is what enables you to ace it, get the job offer, succeed in the role for which you were hired, and ultimately rise into higher leadership positions." That may seem like a lot to lay at the door of Emotional Intelligence, but Craemer gives us a persuasive case for paying attention to this less-acknowledged aspect of our work lives. In a series of chapters that focus on how we can develop good habits, communicate across teams, lead by example and sustain change, he gives the reader a clear and practical blueprint on how to succeed in the workplace. Highly recommended.

This book did give me many ways to better manage my stress and emotional intelligence.
You can think you know it all or know yourself fully.
But until you pick up a book like this that makes you revaluate yourself.
There is never a perfect way of responding, but there are better ways.
Also provided is conflict management techniques.
Page 92: "All of the personal and social competencies of emotional intelligence can aid in your ability to perform well under stress."
Page 96: "Continually remind yourself to attack the problem and not the person."
Page 101: "The bond you establish and maintain with others requires clarity and your ability to deal with conflict directly and constructively."
Page 105: "Of course, you can't count on your theoretical understanding to immediately result in behavioral changes reflecting EQ competence. Developing behaviors that demonstrate competence in emotional intelligence requires intention, practice, discipline, and patience."
Page 105: "It takes courage to change your behavior."
Page 106: "...you need to engage with what is likely outside your comfort zone in order to grow."

A good introduction to EQ that gives a wide scope of knowledge you need to know for the workplace. This book does not go too in depth, but it is a good place to start for any employees struggling with EQ.
