OPTIMAL How to Sustain Personal and Organizational Excellence Every Day

Narrator Mike Lenz adeptly guides listeners through the extensive research supporting the concept of emotional intelligence (EI). More than a quarter of a century since the publication of his groundbreaking book, EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE, Goleman and fellow psychologist Cary Cherniss bring together years of academic research and the results of organizational initiatives to demonstrate the impact of emotional intelligence on individuals, teams, and organizations. The authors diverge from the trend of peak performance, advocating instead for optimal performance--a concept emphasizing doing one's best without succumbing to perfectionism. Speaking with care at an appropriate pace, Lenz delivers the audiobook's ideas with conviction, supported by compelling data and illuminating case studies. However, serious learners might find the printed book a more accessible vehicle. E.Q. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2024]
