Primal Leadership: Unleashing the Power of Emotional Intelligence

Primal Leadership: Unleashing the Power of Emotional Intelligence by Daniel Goleman, Richard E. Boyatzis and Annie McKee      336 pages

A well written manual on how leadership should be when common sense and book learning meet.   It shows not only how to lead but how to realize how you are being perceived by others by what you do and how you do it, and what you say and how you say it.   A truly empathic approach to leadership assessing and addressing the whole person employee, colleague, boss, customer not just the situation at hand.    Well thought out and very in touch holistic approach to being a leader.   I would recommend this to young adults moving into management positions, and as a review for those leaders who may have allowed themselves to become a little stagnant along the way.   A good review to refer back to again and again so as not to forget the person performing the job required and the many aspects of fulfilling that job and how to go the extra mile without extra effort.
