This book succeeds in shedding light on professional success from a different perspective and the essential skills a person must possess to excel in their job and ensure their personal well-being, as well as the progress of the business or organization where they work.

Daniel Goleman, a renowned author of significant books on the subject of emotional intelligence, uses his expertise as a psychologist and his many years of experience as a journalist to highlight the ability that distinguishes 'stars' of performance from other workers.

The research he conducts in hundreds of businesses worldwide leads him to formulate a new, scientifically backed viewpoint on the skills that set 'stars' apart in every field. Goleman argues that the most important factor in distinguishing oneself in the workplace is not the intelligence quotient, specialized studies, or technical expertise.

The most crucial factor in today’s ever-changing and uncertain work environment is emotional intelligence. An outstanding book that has changed and continues to change the culture of businesses and the attitudes of their leaders.

Useful not only for students of psychology, marketing, and business administration, but also for consultants, managers, senior executives, business leaders, and any individual who contributes to the smooth operation, profitability, and well-being of a business.
