Product Description
From Library Journal
Studies have shown that the most intelligent people are often not that successful in their personal lives. As Cooper (The Performance Edge, Houghton, 1991) and executive/entrepreneur Sawaf demonstrate, that principle applies in business as well. The authors argue that business success depends on "emotional intelligence"?a quality that "enables you to be authentic and true to your best self; to be clear and get along;...and to sense opportunities and create the future." Filled with examples from major businesses, their book includes an "EQ map" that lets readers measure their own relative strengths and weaknesses across many emotional intelligence characteristics. Both entertaining and informative, this book should enlighten all workers. Highly recommended.?Kathy E. Shimpock, Muchmore & Wallwork Lib., Phoenix

Best book on leadership and personal growth!,
By
This review is from: Executive E. Q. (Paperback)
I was very concerned, whether "Emotional Intelligence" can be descibed with words. Especially, when many authors tend to praise themselves and how important their subject is. However, this book is as good as it gets! Even chapters like "Intuitive Flow" are concrete and easy to understand. Furthermore, many examples and citations are taken from bussiness cases and really help to connect the topic with your working life.Actually, I even bougth a second copy to give it to interested collegues.

the value is in the test,
By
This review is from: Executive E Q (Hardcover)
I read the translation of this book in september 1997. The thing I like about the book is the test (EQ map) - in fact, I recommend buying the book for taking the test. The book itself isn't that great, especially the link between the test and the rest of the book is ratther weak (to say the least). A more extensive review can be found on my website, 7EQ.com. Conclusion: if you want to test your EQ, buy this book. If you want to develop it, look elsewhere.

Most Practical Management Book I have ever read,
By A Customer
This review is from: Executive E. Q. (Paperback)
Robert Cooper's book is heads above all the other enmotional intelligence books on the market. The others empahasize to much theory. This author is heavy on practical proven approaches that are based on people be authentic with one another and working together. Granted this book may not be for those who don't have the guts to push themelves to grow to heights not even mentioned in typical management theories. Honesty, putting the customer first, being genuinine, etc... have all but become extinct today. Robert Cooper's book issue's a challenge to all of us. To be the best means competing against your own standards so you can best serve your customers first and making a profit helps you do that better. Bravo Dr. Cooper.
