The real key to personal and professional growth, and happiness, is your emotional quotient, which you can nurture and develop.The EQ Edge, by Steven J. Stein and Howard E.

By understanding EQ, you can build more meaningful relationships, boost your confidence and optimism, and respond to challenges with enthusiasm––all of which are essential ingredients of success.The book features case studies and fascinating––and surprising––insights into EQ and the workplace. As an HR or line manager, this book will help you determine which personnel are the right fit for job opportunities and who among your staff will be the most promising leaders and drivers of your business. And because CEOs to front–line workers also have other roles––parent, spouse, caregiver to aging parents, neighbor, friend—The EQ Edgealso describes how everyone can be more successful in these relationships."Finally, a practical and useable guide to what emotional intelligence is all about. This book peels the onions on what EQ really is and teaches the reader to assess their own EQ and how to increase it. This is the holy grail for career success."
—Michael Feiner, Professor, Columbia Graduate School of Business and author ofThe Feiner Points of leadership

Each chapter tunnels its way into the most critical aspects of what emotional intelligence actually means and how to achieve personal success, both internally and in our relationships with those around us. It adroitly synthesizes the research and the theory in such a way as to make the application of emotional intelligence available to clinicians and trainers alike. Developing an applied base program in emotional intelligence without utilizing this book is comparable to baking the cake and leaving off the icing.”
