Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Leading with Feeling
Cary Cherniss · 2020
82/100
👍 Worth It
Cherniss's decades of EI research alongside Goleman give this real scholarly backbone, and the nine-strategy framework drawn from 25 real leader interviews keeps it from floating into abstraction. Each chapter closes with practical application activities, which makes it usable in executive coaching sessions rather than just inspiring to read and then shelve. One of the more rigorous entries in the EI leadership genre.
