 Written on June 13, 2008 Summary: Best of Goleman I have read many of Goleman's books on EQ. Each holds some gems inside lots of fluff. Goleman's premise is emotional competencies (listening, empathy, etc.) form a separate category of intelligence. I can agree with that. Unfortunately, this has become a business franchise for him, so I think he takes it too far. He asserts it is THE defining intelligence of star performers. The thesis is easy to swallow at first, as his books are written in the standard business best-seller sensational journalist format. I would counter with the work of Marcus Buckingham which maintains that each of us has our individual strengths and weakness. When we work to our strengths, we excel. Goleman is trying to fit all the characteristics of star performers into an emotional intelligence frame work. I know plenty of respected star performers whom lack high EQ. The business bookshelfs are full of other counter examples as well. Primal Leadership sets itself apart from Goleman's other books by providing useful examples of the leadership problems I have encountered at work over, and over again. In some cases, I have committed them myself! With Primal Leadership you get some EQ self-help to help you break the chain of abuse.  Written on May 20, 2008 Summary: Primal Leadership This is a very intersting book. I am new to leadership and just starting to go through book and I find it with many fascinating ideas. Written on April 21, 2008 Summary: IQ, EI or Common Sense? Like some of the other reviewers who have written critical reviews of this book, I certainly recognize the merits and importance of the information being presented yet question the necessity of the amount of research and discussion entailed. The business world can certainly be a cutthroat place where tough bosses, competitive coworkers and unreasonable deadlines abound. However, should it really be such a novel idea that, in a leadership role, being nice works? As adults, do we so easily forget the old parental teachings about being friendly, that you "catch more flies with honey than with vinegar"? Is an entire book describing how to be an empathetic person in your leadership really necessary? I will admit that much of the more scientific aspects, such as the "neuroanatomy of leadership" were very interesting and provided great physiological proof to back their theories. It actually was eye-opening to see exactly why being "emotionally intelligent" works. There was certainly a much more in-depth discussion of techniques and situations. However, I still felt that the descriptions of how to emotionally intelligent were rather self-explanatory. Through most of the book, I found myself subconsciously nodding in agreement and waiting to read something that didn't already seem to me to be common sense knowledge.I would think that most leaders would want to build relationships with their coworkers, shed a positive light on most situations. It seems obvious that leaders would develop a rapport with those they lead so that when they are assigned a task, they will do it willingly. Overall, the book was an easy read, very accessible and probably would be of help to those who may be used to some of the more ineffective, dissonant leadership styles. For me, as a self-proclaimed very friendly person, I didn't feel that I exactly found any new material to add to my leadership skills. Written on March 28, 2008 Summary: Interesting Audio Book I have many audio books, and sometimes travel a lot and alone. So, it is good time to get a good subject like PRIMAL LEADERSHIP and listen that. It is a positive approach on leadership, I consider most of the comments really true. For the young guys that want to be leaders in the future, I recommend that! Written on March 25, 2008 Summary: This book taught me to develop my own leadership... I just had my first personnel when I read this book. With only twenty-some years and no leadership under the belt I had to manage my company. You might think that's easy, but believe me... it isn't. Having the knowledge how to lead certainly helps though. Actually, Primal Leadership isn't so primal at all. It takes re-reading the book over and over again and practicing what it preaches for quite some time. The book covers so much issues that you might spend quite a lot of time trying to lead, while you know you should lead differently. That's exactly the difference between knowldege and wisdom. When you know something, you might actually don't do it. Having the wisdom, you just practice what you preach. Now my business is growing faster than ever and I must say this book is one of the key factors in providing leadership and getting operations and projects running smoothly. It may not give you sales or good ideas, but it will definitly give you leadership. |
