“Learning to lead with emotional intelligence”

Harvard Business School Press, Primal Leadership by Goleman-Boyatzis-McKee

Leading with emotional intelligence has been a new direction in the last decade for leaders around the globe.

Not only for leaders in politics or in executive roles in business lives, you might think first, but a new dimension about how we see leadership in life; whether it is used at home, in our relationships, leaders who are managers, or leaders who are not managers, but true leaders.

Leaders have a choice to make about their leadership style, adopt all time to what is required in various situations.

I have found a great summary in this book, which you can see below. More details about leadership styles, how to make choices and some great practicle examples you can find and read more in the book.
