Managing the human side of work

Research by Daniel Goleman, a psychologist and coauthor of Primal Leadership, has shown that emotional intelligence is a more powerful determinant of good leadership than technical competence, IQ, or vision.

Influencing those around us and supporting our own well-being requires us to be self-aware, know when and how to regulate our emotional reactions, and understand the emotional responses of those around us. No wonder emotional intelligence has become one of the crucial criteria in hiring and promotion.

But luckily it’s not just an innate trait: Emotional intelligence is composed of skills that all of us can learn and improve on. In this guide, you’ll learn how to:

  • Determine your emotional intelligence strengths and weaknesses
  • Understand and manage your emotional reactions
  • Deal with difficult people
  • Make smarter decisions
  • Bounce back from tough times
  • Help your team develop emotional intelligence

    Arm yourself with the advice you need to succeed on the job, with the most trusted brand in business. Packed with how-to essentials from leading experts, the HBR Guides provide smart answers to your most pressing work challenges.

1.0 out of 5 stars Warning: Audiobook cover doesn't match the product being sold!
Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2019
The Audible and MP3 CD versions of this product dishonestly show the cover from an entirely different product. This audiobook is "HBR Guide to Emotional Intelligence," not "HBR's 10 Must Reads On Emotional Intelligence." This incorrect cover can trick customers into accidentally purchasing the wrong product.

4.0 out of 5 stars If you don't love it, you are not gonna like it.
Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2018
WARNING: if you are looking to become very emotionally intelligent just from reading this book you are looking for the wrong book. Reading this helps you understand what emotional intelligence is and how to use it in specific situations. If you want to become emotionally intelligent you have to put the work in and learn. Also, take notes while reading because you are going to want to come back and look at what was said without reading the whole thing again.

Harvard Business Review guide to Emotional intelligence is a book of repeating valuable information on how to lead people through emotion. If you are looking to get more out of the people working around you this book is for you. You will not find amazing literature, but that is not why you would be reading this book. It is meant for you to understand the people that you work with and interact with every day.
The book consists of several different articles from the Harvard Business Review on Emotional intelligence. These articles help you understand your emotions better, how to deal with the people around you, and also how to help others around you. Emotional intelligence has an underlying theme: be aware of the people around you and yourself, and be specific in everything. The main points hit in the book are dealing with emotions (others and your own), managing and influencing everyone in your workplace, how to negotiate, and how to get through tough situations. It is not the business side of things that is talked about in this book, but the psychological and human side of things. In order for you to be successful as a leader, you need to understand how the people working for you and with you feel, and how to effect those emotions.
If you don't like repetition you will get frustrated reading this book, but you get several different points of view on the same ideologies. The themes and topics in the articles are covered several times. This can be a good thing because that will allow you to review the important information several times throughout the reading. Each time something is repeated in an article, you get a new point of view. Personally, this was my favorite part. I got a chance to review the information I was interested in, and see it from another point of view because of the author of the articles changes.
You have to be passionate about either learning new things about people or leadership to read this book. If not it is going to be a very excruciating read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Emotional intelligence as a great skillset

When one of my top bosses casually pointed to my naive ignorant nature
and advised me to be aware of the work environment and its surroundings, I realized I need to learn a lot in this direction. This book provided me with right toolset as emotional intelligence.

Es un excelente compilado de artículos y la secuencia lógica de cómo vienen estructuradas hace total sentido al conectar los artículos, que si bien son autores distintos esta secuencia ayuda. Para líder y como persona personal te da una guía en como ser mas consciente de las emociones y al tener esa consciencia puedes ser más ágil en ti EI, que puede ser más importante que el IQ
