Habiendo tenido acceso a directores empresariales de todo el mundo, y tras haber estudiado el funcionamiento de más de quinientas organizaciones, Goleman revela las aptitudes que definen a los profesionales más competentes. Su conclusión es que, desde los puestos de trabajo más modestos hasta los altos cargos directivos, el factor determinante no es ni el cociente intelectual, ni los diplomas universitarios, ni la pericia técnica: es la inteligencia emocional.

Después de los éxitos de Inteligencia emocional e Inteligencia social , Daniel Goleman introduce el revolucionario concepto de inteligencia ecológica: la comprensión de los impactos ecológicos ocultos y la determinación de mejorarlos. Independientemente de que seamos un simple consumidor, el jefe de compras de una empresa o un director de producto, el conocimiento del impacto ecológico de lo que adquirimos, fabricamos o vendemos es fundamental para tomar decisiones más acordes con nuestros valores y, así, influir positivamente en nuestro futuro y en el del planeta. Para los consumidores, la inteligencia ecológica es la llave que nos permite inclinar la balanza del mercado hacia ingredientes, tecnologías y diseños que respeten nuestros valores. Para las empresas, la inteligencia ecológica significa modificar los procesos industriales teniendo en cuenta sus consecuencias medioambientales. Para el empresario del siglo XXI el reto consiste en lograr la transparencia radical del producto. De esta manera, el mundo del comercio puede ir corrigiéndose, no sólo en nombre de la responsabilidad, sino también en el de su búsqueda del beneficio, desbloqueando al fin el viejo antagonismo entre los objetivos de la empresa y los del interés público. Inteligencia ecológic a aporta las claves necesarias para convertirnos en jugadores activos en determinar el curso del planeta, de nuestra salud y de nuestro destino común.

In Transparency, the authors–a powerhouse trio in the field of leadership–look at what conspires against "a culture of candor" in organizations to create disastrous results, and suggest ways that leaders can achieve healthy and honest openness. They explore the lightning-rod concept of "transparency"–which has fast become the buzzword not only in business and corporate settings but in government and the social sector as well. Together Bennis, Goleman, and O''Toole explore why the containment of truth is the dearest held value of far too many organizations and suggest practical ways that organizations, their leaders, their members, and their boards can achieve openness. After years of dedicating themselves to research and theory, at first separately, and now jointly, these three leadership giants reveal the multifaceted importance of candor and show what promotes transparency and what hinders it. They describe how leaders often stymie the flow of information and the structural impediments that keep information from getting where it needs to go. This vital resource is written for any organization–business, government, and nonprofit–that must achieve a culture of candor, truth, and transparency.

Explores the nature of human relationships, finding that humans are "wired to connect," and bringing together the latest research in biology and neuroscience to reveal how one''s daily encounters shape the brain and affect the body. "Humans have a built-in

Emotional Intelligence Does IQ define our destiny? Daniel Goleman argues that our view of human intelligence is far too narrow, and that our emotions play a major role in thought, decision making and individual success. Self-awareness, impulse control, persistence, motivation, empathy and social deftness are all qualities that mark people who excel: whose relationships flourish, who are stars in the workplace. With new insights into the brain architecture underlying emotion and rationality, Goleman shows precisely how emotional intelligence can be nurtured and strengthened in all of us. Working with Emotional Intelligence Do you want to be more successful at work? Do you want to improve your chances of promotion? Do you want to get on better with your colleagues? Daniel Goleman draws on unparalleled access to business leaders around the world and the thorough research that is his trademark. He demonstrates that emotional intelligence at work matters twice as much as cognitive abilities such as IQ or technical expertise in this inspiring sequel.

How does emotional intelligence as a competency go beyond the individual to become something a group or entire organization can build and utilize collectively? Written primarily by members of the Consortium for Research on Emotional Intelligence in Organizations, founded by recognized EI experts Daniel Goleman and Cary Cherniss, this groundbreaking compendium examines the conceptual and strategic issues involved in defining, measuring and promoting emotional intelligence in organizations. The book''s contributing authors share fifteen models that have been field-tested and empirically validated in existing organizations. They also detail twenty-two guidelines for promoting emotional intelligence and outline a variety of measurement strategies for assessing emotional and social competence in organizations.

Can the mind heal the body? The Buddhist tradition says yes—and now many Western scientists are beginning to agree. Healing Emotions is the record of an extraordinary series of encounters between the Dalai Lama and prominent Western psychologists, physicians, and meditation teachers that sheds new light on the mind-body connection. Topics include: compassion as medicine; the nature of consciousness; self-esteem; and the meeting points of mind, body, and spirit. This edition contains a new foreword by the editor.

El presente libro se enfrenta con uno de los grandes problemas de la humanidad. Daniel Goleman documenta un diálogo entre el Dalai Lama y un selecto grupo de eruditos budistas, psicólogos occidentales, neurocientíficos y filósofos, reunidos para dilucidar, comprender y combatir las emociones destructivas.

As business reinvents itself at broadband speed, what makes leaders effective has inevitably been transformed. Old assumptions and old modes no longer hold; a new style of leadership that works has emerged amidst the chaos of change. This new leader excels in the art of relationship, the singular expertise which the changing business climate renders indispensable. Excellence is being defined in interpersonal terms as companies have stripped out layers of managers, as corporations merge across national boundaries, and as customers and suppliers redefine the web of connection. Bestselling author Daniel Goleman argues that emotionally intelligent leaders are now ''must-haves'' for business today. But many readers have been left with, So now what do I do? The New Leaders answers that question by laying out the map for transforming leadership in individuals, in teams and organizations.

At the beginning of the twentieth century psychologists discovered ways and means to measure intelligence that developed into an obsession with IQ. In the mid 1990''s, Daniel Goleman popularised research into emotional intelligence, EQ, pointing out that EQ is a basic requirement for the appropriate use of IQ. In this century, there is enough collective evidence from psychology, neurology, anthropology and cognitive science to show us that there is a third ''Q'', ''SQ'' or Spiritual Intelligence. SQ is uniquely human and, the authors argue, the most fundamental intelligence. SQ is what we use to develop our longing and capacity for meaning, vision and value. It allows us to dream and to strive. It underlies the things we believe in, and the role our beliefs and values play in the actions that we take and the way we shape our lives.

Do you have what it takes to succeed in your career? The secret of success is not what they taught you in school. What matters most is not IQ, not a business school degree, not even technical know-how or years of expertise. The single most important factor in job performance and advancement is emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence is actually a set of skills that anyone can acquire, and in this practical guide, Daniel Goleman identifies them, explains their importance, and shows how they can be fostered. For leaders, emotional intelligence is almost 90 percent of what sets stars apart from the mediocre. As Goleman documents, it''s the essential ingredient for reaching and staying at the top in any field, even in high-tech careers. And organizations that learn to operate in emotionally intelligent ways are the companies that will remain vital and dynamic in the competitive marketplace of today—and the future. Comprehensively researched, crisply written, and packed with fascinating case histories of triumphs, disasters, and dramatic turnarounds, Working with Emotional Intelligence may be the most important business book you''ll ever read. Drawing on unparalleled access to business leaders around the world and studies in more than 500 organizations, Goleman documents an astonishing fact: in determining star performance in every field, emotional intelligence matters twice as much as IQ or technical expertise. Readers also discover how emotional competence can be learned. Goleman analyzes five key sets of skills and vividly shows how they determine who is hired and who is fired in the top corporations in the world. He also provides guidelines for training in the "emotionally intelligent organization," in chapters that no one, from manager to CEO, should miss. Working with Emotional Intelligence could prove to be the most important reference for bottom-line businesspeople in the first decades of the 21st century.

L''ambiente di lavoro è l''ambito con cui si manifesta con maggiore evidenza l''importanza di un''intelligenza che non sia solo una logica fredda e astratta, ma una combinazione armonica di diverse capacità. È essenziale, per emergere, sapere stabilire rapporti costruttivi, affidarsi all''intuito, cogliere le correnti emotive che si stabiliscono tra le persone potenziando quelle positive e deviando quelle distruttive. Qualità indispensabili come l''ottimismo, l''adattabilità e lo spirito di iniziativa si possono apprendere e mettere in pratica. Daniel Goleman ci mostra con moltissimi esempi tratti dalla vita di tutti i giorni e dalle vicende di personaggi noti (Bill Gates), come stabilire e valorizzare le relazioni interpersonali.

Daniel Goleman offers a vital new curriculum for life that can change the future for us and for our children

From the New York Times Bestselling author, a classic interpretation of all varieties of meditation. “Goleman’s wide-ranging meditative experience imbues the volume with an authority and authenticity . . . and continues to make his writings some of the liveliest available on meditation.”—Publisher’s Weekly The Meditative Mind is an essential traveler’s guide to the topography of the spirit for every spiritual seeker. For the beginning meditator, the book provides a comprehensive, accessible overview of the different kinds of meditation, from Hindu, Buddhist, Sufi, Jewish, and Christian to Transcendental, Tantric, Kundalini, Tibeta Buddhist, Zen, and those developed by Gurdjeff and Krishnamurti, and introduces the reader to the basic elements of their practice. For the experienced meditator, Goleman explores the distinct levels of consciousness developed as a result of long-term application.

Publicado pela primeira vez em 1995, nos Estados Unidos, este livro transformou a maneira de pensar a inteligência. Alterou práticas de educação e mudou o mundo dos negócios. Das fronteiras da psicologia e da neurociência, Daniel Goleman trouxe o conceito de "duas mentes" - a racional e a emocional - e explicou como, juntas, elas moldam nosso destino. Segundo Goleman, a consciência das emoções é fator essencial para o desenvolvimento da inteligência do indivíduo. Partindo de casos cotidianos, o autor mostra como a incapacidade de lidar com as próprias emoções pode minar a experiência escolar, acabar com carreiras promissoras e destruir vidas. O fracasso e a vitória não são determinados por algum tipo de loteria genética: muitos dos circuitos cerebrais da mente humana são maleáveis e podem ser trabalhados. Utilizando exemplos marcantes, Goleman descreve as cinco habilidades-chave da inteligência emocional e mostra como elas determinam nosso êxito nos relacionamentos e no trabalho, e até nosso bem-estar físico. Pais, professores e líderes do mundo dos negócios sentirão o valor desta visão arrebatadora do potencial humano.

"This book offers a ground-breaking look at psychological and social forces that have kept men silent about what matters to them most. As The New York Times psychology columnist Daniel Goleman states in the Foreword, ''The roots...go back to the most primal relationships men have, as children, with their own fathers, and to the messages--both subtle and overt--they receive as they grow that tell them, in effect, that to seal the heart is to be a man. But although men have been silenced by the early events of their lives, they need not be bound by them. That, too, is a message of this book.'' "--Cover page [4].

A penetrating analysis of the dark corners of human deception, enlivened by intriguing case histories and experiments.
