More quotes by Daniel Goleman
The more socially intelligent you are, the happier and more robust and more enjoyable your relationships will be.
Daniel Goleman
Simply paying attention allows us to build an emotional connection. Lacking attention, empathy hasn't a chance.
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
Green is a process, not a status. We need to think of 'green' as a verb, not an adjective.
Daniel Goleman
Fear, in evolution, has a special prominence: perhaps more than any other emotion it is crucial for survival.
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
Empathic, emotionally intelligent work environments have a good track record of increasing creativity, improving problem solving and raising productivity.
Daniel Goleman
Emotional 'literacy' implies an expanded responsibility for schools in helping to socialize children. This daunting task requires two major changes: that teachers go beyond their traditional mission and that people in the community become more involved with schools as both active participants in children's learning and as individual mentors.
Daniel Goleman
Smart phones and social media expand our universe. We can connect with others or collect information easier and faster than ever.
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
Research shows that for jobs of all kinds, emotional intelligence is twice as important an ingredient of outstanding performance as cognitive ability and technical skill combined.
Daniel Goleman
If you are doing mindfulness meditation, you are doing it with your ability to attend to the moment.
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
Positive work environments outperform negative work environments.
Daniel Goleman
Great leaders, the research shows, are made as they gradually acquire, in the course of their lives and careers, the competencies that make them so effective. The competencies can be learned by any leader, at any point.
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
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
Empathy represents the foundation skill for all the social competencies important for work.
Daniel Goleman
Societies can be sunk by the weight of buried ugliness.
