Daniel Goleman

Daniel Goleman
The more socially intelligent you are, the happier and more robust and more enjoyable your relationships will be.
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
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
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
In a high-IQ job pool, soft skills like discipline, drive and empathy mark those who emerge as outstanding.
Daniel Goleman
Shipping by sea produces 1/60 the emissions of shipping by air and about 1/5 that of trucking.
Daniel Goleman
A leader tuned out of his internal world will be rudderless one blind to the world of others will be clueless those indifferent to the larger systems within which they operate will be blindsided.
Daniel Goleman
If you do a practice and train your attention to hover in the present, then you will build the internal capacity to do that as needed - at will and voluntarily.
Daniel Goleman
One way to boost our will power and focus is to manage our distractions instead of letting them manage us.
