Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
HBR's 10 Must Reads on Emotional Intelligence
Harvard Business Review · 2015
84/100
👍 Worth It
Goleman's foundational research on emotional intelligence — showing it outweighs IQ in predicting leadership success — is one of the most cited management ideas of the past thirty years, and having it alongside supporting articles on team EQ, resilience, and the cost of incivility makes this collection punching well above its compact size. Business schools use it for a reason. A genuinely important read for anyone who manages people.
