It
is a tough world we are dealing with and the concept of emotional intelligence
is nothing new to us. But in their book, Emotional Intelligence 2.0, authors
Travis Bradberry and Jean Greaves present a step-by-step programme that will
help readers use effectively their emotional intelligence and enjoy the fruits
of consistent performance and ultimately succeed in achieving their goals.
The
book highlights the four core emotional intelligence skills which are
self-awareness, self-management, social awareness and relationship management.
In order to exceed one's goals one not only has to identify one's EQ skills but
must also learn to develop these skills into strengths.
Keeping
this purpose in mind, the authors have focused on how these four core skills
can be achieved and strengthened. They have offered strategies for
self-awareness, self-management, social awareness and relationship management.
The strategies are full of insights and are straightforward.
A
daily practice of these strategies will help people respond effectively to
their emotions. They equip a person to overcome the daily obstacles and help
bring about a positive change in life. Lastly, man is incomplete without
relationships and so the strategies for relationship management are sure to
deepen the connections people already have and also help critical relationships
work.
In
today's fast-paced world of competitive workplaces and turbulent economic
conditions, each of us is searching for effective tools that can help us to
manage, adapt, and strike out ahead of the pack.
