From the originator of the term 'emotional intelligence' and bestselling author of the book of the same name, this new study shows how its use at work is the key to both personal and corporate achievement. Psychologist Goleman writes with verve and clarity. He reveals why personal emotional intelligence - self-awareness, motivation and persistence, ability to handle emotion, getting on with people and leadership ability - matters much more than academic intelligence in getting both a job and success within a career.
