One of the weaknesses of Emotional Intelligence as a professional development book is that it focused mainly on academic research which, in turn, focused mainly on children and education. This book sets out to present the same material using research about the working world (generally from business consultants and companies looking at their own workforce).

I felt the book suffered from a lack of strong organization. Where Emotional Intelligence was strongly structured around the 5 core emotional intelligence competencies, Working with Emotional Intelligence went over a much longer list of attributes which were loosely coupled to those 5 core ideas. Thus, while the book had valuable content overall, it covered so much that it was almost inevitably going to come off as somewhat scattered without an extremely strong organizing principle. ( )

Contacting Daniel Goleman

Su conclusión es que,desde los puestos de trabajo más modestos hasta los altos cargos directivos,el factor determinante no es el cociente intelectual, ni los diplomas universitarios, ni la pericia técnica: es la inteligencia emocional
