Bestselling author Daniel Goleman and co-author Cary Cherniss present practical methods for applying emotional intelligence (EI) principles to achieve consistent high performance. While peak moments, like an athlete's perfect game or a business's record profits, are memorable, they are often fleeting. True fulfillment arises from many consistent, productive days rather than isolated peak experiences. The challenge lies in sustaining performance without burnout and maintaining balance. In this work, Goleman and Cherniss illustrate how emotional intelligence can help us achieve a satisfying and productive day, advocating for a realistic goal of feeling accomplished daily. Drawing on research from hundreds of individuals, they describe the characteristics of an optimal state and emphasize that emotional intelligence is crucial for reaching our best performance. This book synthesizes decades of research on emotional intelligence, demonstrating that enhanced EI leads to greater engagement, productivity, and overall satisfaction. Readers will discover essential skills for developing emotional intelligence and practical strategies for implementing these skills effectively. Ultimately, this guidance will empower you to become a more effective leader and foster an organizational culture that supports sustained high performance.
