Daniel Goleman
When I went on to write my next book, Working With Emotional Intelligence, I wanted to make a business case that the best performers were those people strong in these skills.
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
Positive work environments outperform negative work environments.
Daniel Goleman
If you are doing mindfulness meditation, you are doing it with your ability to attend to the moment.
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
The people we get along with, trust, feel simpatico with, are the strongest links in our networks
Daniel Goleman
Empathy represents the foundation skill for all the social competencies important for work.
Daniel Goleman
Teachers need to be comfortable talking about feelings.
Daniel Goleman
Like secondhand smoke, the leakage of emotions can make a bystander an innocent casualty of someone else's toxic state.
Daniel Goleman
