Emotional Intelligence (1995), by Daniel Goleman

What factors are at play, asks the author, "when people of high IQ flounder and those of modest IQ do surprisingly well?" Those qualities, such as self-control, persistence and motivation, are known as emotional intelligence or EQ. Without them, writes Goleman, careers are often unnecessarily dashed on the rocks. There is hope, though: "Temperament is not destiny," he writes. The author explains how a higher EQ can be developed through psychological education. The compelling ideas the author introduces have since become a means of assessing and nurturing an employee's behavior and management skills.
