4. Weekly Book Recommendation Morton Meyerson, CEO of Perot Systems wrote an article entitled, “Everything I thought I knew about leadership was wrong, my first job as a leader was to create a new understanding of myself.” p.62 Goleman, D. (1998). Working with emotional intelligence. New York: Bantam Books.

5. Weekly Book Recommendation “It’s one reason emotionally intelligent leaders attract talented people – for the pleasure of working in their presence. Conversely, leaders who emit the negative register – who are irritable, touchy, domineering, cold repel people. No one wants to work for a grouch. Research has proven it: Optimistic, enthusiastic leaders more easily retain their people, compared with those bosses who tend toward negative moods.” p.12 Goleman, D., Boyatzis, R. & McKee, A. (2002). Primal Leadership: Learning to Lead with Emotional Intelligence
