More quotes by Daniel Goleman
Brain studies of mental workouts in which you sustain a single, chosen focus show that the more you detach from what's distracting you and refocus on what you should be paying attention to, the stronger this brain circuitry becomes.
Daniel Goleman
Simply paying attention allows us to build an emotional connection. Lacking attention, empathy hasn't a chance.
Daniel Goleman
The Harvard Business Review recently had an article called 'The Human Moment,' about how to make real contact with a person at work: ... The fundamental thing you have to do is turn off your BlackBerry, close your laptop, end your daydream and pay full attention to the person.
Daniel Goleman
There is perhaps no psychological skill more fundamental than resisting impulse. It is the root of all emotional self-control, since all emotions, by their very nature, lead to one or another impulse to act. The root meaning of the word emotion, remember, is to move.
Daniel Goleman
The people we get along with, trust, feel simpatico with, are the strongest links in our networks
Daniel Goleman
Empathic, emotionally intelligent work environments have a good track record of increasing creativity, improving problem solving and raising productivity.
Daniel Goleman
In a very real sense we have two minds, one that thinks and one that feels
Daniel Goleman
I think the smartest thing for people to do to manage very distressing emotions is to take a medication if it helps, but don't do only that. You also need to train your mind.
Daniel Goleman
The near cousin of optimism is hope: knowing the steps needed to get to a goal and having the energy to pursue those steps. It is a primal motivating force, and its absence is paralyzing.
Daniel Goleman
Gifted leadership occurs when heart and head--feeling and thought--meet. These are the two winds that allow a leader to soar.
Daniel Goleman
Whoever has the mind to fight has broken his connection with the universe. If you try to dominate people you are already defeated. We study how to resolve conflict, not how to start it.
Daniel Goleman
Companies in the East put a lot more emphasis on human relationships, while those from the West focus on the product, the bottom line. Westerners appear to have more of a need for achievement, while in the East there's more need for affiliation.
Daniel Goleman
People who are optimistic see a failure as due to something that can be changed so that they can succeed next time around, while pessimists take the blame for the failure, ascribing it to some characteristic they are helpless to change.
Daniel Goleman
I don't think focus is in itself ever a bad thing. But focus of the wrong kind, or managed poorly, can be.
Daniel Goleman
When I say manage emotions, I only mean the really distressing, incapacitating emotions. Feeling emotions is what makes life rich. You need your passions.
Daniel Goleman
As much as 80% of adult success comes from EQ.
Daniel Goleman
Compassion begins with attention.
Daniel Goleman
It is difficult to spread the contagion of excitement without having a sense of purpose and direction.
Daniel Goleman
Emotional self-awareness is the building block of the next fundamental emotional intelligence: being able to shake off a bad mood.
Daniel Goleman
Even though a high IQ is no guarantee of prosperity, prestige, or happiness in life, our schools and our culture fixate on academic abilities, ignoring the emotional intelligence that also matters immensely for our personal destiny.
