Daniel Goleman
Emotional self-control is NOT the same as overcontrol, the stifling of all feeling and spontaneity....when such emotional suppression is chronic, it can impair thinking, hamper intellectual performance and interfere with smooth social interaction. By contrast, emotional competence implies we have a choice as to how we express our feelings.
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
Doggedness depends on emotional traits - enthusiasm and persistence in the face of setbacks - above all else.
Daniel Goleman
We should spend less time ranking children and more time helping them to identify their natural competencies and gifts, and cultivate those.
Daniel Goleman
Simply paying attention allows us to build an emotional connection. Lacking attention, empathy hasn't a chance.
Daniel Goleman
True compassion means not only feeling another's pain but also being moved to help relieve it.

Daniel Goleman
Although traditional incentives such as bonuses or recognition can prod people to better performance, no external motivators can get people to perform at their absolute best. . . .Wherever people gravitate within their work roles, indicates where their real pleasure lies—and that pleasure is itself motivating.
Daniel Goleman
