Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Emotional Intelligence for Project Managers
Anthony C. Mersino · 2007
73/100
👍 Worth It
Mersino does something genuinely useful here: he takes Goleman's broad EQ theory and applies it directly to the specific stressors project managers face — stakeholder conflict, team dynamics, sponsor relationships. The Agile chapter in the second edition adds real shelf life. If you manage projects and want to lead people better, this is a targeted, practical read.
