Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Become a Better Leader by Improving Your Emotional Intelligence Bestselling author DANIEL GOLEMAN first brought the concept of emotional intelligence (EI) to the forefront of business through his articles in Harvard Business Review, establishing EI as an indispensable trait for leaders. The Emotionally Intelligent Leader brings together three of Goleman's bestselling HBR articles. In "What Makes a Leader?" Goleman explores research that found that truly effective leaders are distinguished by high levels of self-awareness and sharp social skills. In "The Focused Leader," Goleman explains neuroscience research that proves that "being focused" is more than filtering out distractions while concentrating on one thing. In "Leadership That Gets Results," Goleman draws on research to outline six distinct leadership styles, each one springing from different components of emotional intelligence. Together, these three articles guide leaders to recognize the direct ties between EI and measurable business results.

Download or read book Leading with Feeling written by Cary Cherniss and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-05-01 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many decades, the conventional wisdom was that emotion has no place in the work world, and the ideal leader is one who approaches problems rationally and unemotionally. However, the reality is that emotion is inevitable when a group of people come together for an extended period of time to work on challenging tasks, and if used effectively, a leader's moods and emotions can be a plus rather than a minus. This book describes how 25 outstanding leaders used emotional intelligence to deal with critical challenges and opportunities. Featuring commentary from the leaders themselves describing how they handled each situation, it helps managers better understand not just what emotional intelligence is, or how to measure it, or how it is linked to bottom-line results: it also shows how real leaders used their emotional intelligence to deal with real situations. The book distills the leaders' experiences into nine strategies that can help any leader or potential leader to be more effective. Each chapter concludes with activities that help readers to apply immediately each of those strategies.

Download or read book MOTIVATING SKILLS written by Prabhu TL and published by NestFame Creations Pvt Ltd.. This book was released on with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ability to cause someone to do something enthusiastically by offering internal or external rewards is known as motivating skills. In other words, it means impelling an action by providing an incentive or a reason for it. Motivating skills are sometimes confused with inspiring skills. However, their difference lies in the fact that unlike inspiring someone, motivating them requires persuasion through an appropriate reward system i.e. offering them a ‘carrot’ such as a raise in salary or promotion etc. Inspiring someone, on the other hand, leads to a desire being developed from within the person, without any persuasion required. Why are motivating skills important Ideally, when an organization is able to hire the right person (with the right skills) for the right job, optimum level of productivity is reached. This is because the employees get to do what they do best so they are enthusiastic about the completion of all those important tasks. However, reality is quite different. The duties at work tend to be very monotonous and tedious for employees despite pursuing the profession of their interest. Therefore, motivating such employees of an organization is very important. It can benefit the organization in the following ways: Improved performance. Once an organization has hired employees with the ‘ability’ to perform certain tasks, it is time to add ‘willingness’ to the equation to improve employees’ efficiency. Their education and training may have given them the ability but motivating them is what will help obtain willingness. Once the equation is complete, performance is bound to improve. Indifferent attitude of employees changed. Never having achieved anything for a good performance at work tends to make the employees indifferent towards any improvement required. Such attitude can be easily changed by making them realize the link between efforts and results/rewards. Reduced absenteeism and employee turnover. In the presence of an appropriate incentive plan, with monetary and non-monetary rewards as well as promotion opportunities, the employees will not only have greater willingness to improve efficiency but also a greater job satisfaction. How to improve your motivating skills Now that you have read and understood the importance of motivating skills, here is how you can improve them and bring about a great deal of change in the organization’s performance: Provide challenging as well as productive work. As a manager you must understand that no matter how self-motivated your employees are, or how amazing the rewards are, it will be difficult to motivate them if the job is designed badly and employees find it inherently unsatisfying. You must be able to provide interesting jobs with variety, challenge and autonomy to motivate people to be more efficient. Manage the goal setting process. It is important to have clear and attainable goals towards the achievement of which employees work. The goals being set shall be effective if they outline what exactly is to be accomplished and when will it be deemed as ‘achieved’. Moreover, setting organizational goals such that they are aligned with the personal goals of the employees can also help in motivating them more than ever. Understand the individual differences. If you seek to motivate them, you should be able to look at the employees on an individual level. This will help you to focus on their varying needs and wants, and offer incentives accordingly. For instance, you can offer more time off as an incentive to someone who seeks work-life balance, promotion to someone who seeks status and recognition in the organization, and salary raise to someone who seeks a monetary reward alone.

Download or read book Positively Energizing Leadership written by Kim Cameron and published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers. This book was released on 2021-08-03 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This practical guide, the first to show how leaders can achieve extraordinary results through the positive energy generated by virtuous interactions with employees, is written by one of the giants in the study of positive leadership. This book reveals one of the most important but frequently ignored factors that lead to spectacular performance in organizations. Kim Cameron, a true pioneer in the study of positive leadership, offers validated scientific evidence that all individuals are inherently attracted to and flourish in the presence of positive energy, a principle known in biology as heliotropism. Further, he shows that the positive relational energy generated by leaders' virtuous behaviors—such as generosity, compassion, gratitude, trustworthiness, forgiveness, and kindness—is tightly linked to extraordinary organizational outcomes like greater innovation, higher profits, and increased engagement and retention. Cameron has not written a feel-good tome about the power of positive thinking, “happiology,” or unbridled optimism. This research-based explanation shows how to achieve performance that exceeds expectations. He provides practical suggestions, assessments, and exercises showing how leaders can improve their own positive energy and increase positive relational energy in their organizations. Positively Energizing Leadership is a major contribution to the theory and practice of leadership.

Download or read book Mapping Motivation for Leadership written by James Sale and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-06-27 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mapping Motivation for Leadership, co-written with Jane Thomas, is the fourth of a series of seven books that are all linked to the author’s Motivational Map toolkit. Each book builds on a different aspect of personal, team and organisational development. This is a practical guide to leadership in the 21st century and builds on the ‘4+1’ model outlined in the author's original book Mapping Motivation: Unlocking the Key to Employee Energy and Engagement. There is an increasing body of evidence, that the single most important aspect of being a leader relates to managing emotions effectively, and this management goes way beyond simply ‘understanding’ emotional intelligence; it is in fact a practice and one that is intimately connected with personal development and growth, and with energy. Energy, as Mapping Motivation made clear, is synonymous with motivation. The effective leaders of tomorrow will be those who understand their motivators, who regularly measure their motivators, sustain and replenish and maximise their motivators, and who do the same for their employees. Clearly, there is a link here with the book on engagement, for leaders who do so will engage their employees. However, this book not only covers the motivational side of leadership, but also explores in detail the skill sets necessary in the ‘4+1’ model: thinking skills, action skills, team skills and motivational skills plus that indefinable ‘something’ that is a commitment to personal development, so that we as leaders are not trying to solve today’s problems with yesterday’s training as our only internal resource.

Download or read book The Emotionally Intelligent Leader written by David. R. Smith and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2017-08-24 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a business executive who has investigated and implemented numerous initiatives to improve company performance isn’t getting the results he wants, he tries something different. He remembers reading an article about a leader—Andrew Miles—who credited his success to emotional intelligence. This intelligence, the article said, helped him engage his workforce and produce exceptional results. It doesn’t take the executive long to arrange a meeting with Miles, who tells him that business leaders must rely on physical, mental, and emotional effort—with emotional effort being how we manage our emotions to ensure we deliver high-quality results more frequently. To cultivate emotional intelligence, Miles says, a leader must focus on six distinct competencies: emotional self-awareness, emotional awareness of others, authenticity, emotional reasoning, emotional self-management, and inspiring performance. Miles explains that emotional intelligence underlies our self-awareness, empathy, leadership, and resilience, which are all skills fundamental to our success. Join a business executive as he seeks to understand his emotions, change how he relates to others, and improve the people around him by learning from The Emotionally Intelligent Leader.
