Book Description
We've all heard of "IQ"...but what's "EQ?" It's "Emotional Quotient" (aka Emotional Intelligence), and experts say that EQ is a greater predictor of success at work than IQ. Companies are increasingly looking for ways to motivate and develop their employees' emotional intelligence. This book presents trainers and coaches with 50 innovative exercises to be used for either individuals or groups.
The activities found in the book are grouped according to the various core competencies associated with Emotional Intelligence:
* Self-Awareness and Control: an awareness of one's values, emotions, skills, and drives, and the ability to control one's emotional responses * Empathy: an understanding of how others perceive situations * Social Expertness: the ability to build relationships based on an assumption of human equality * Mastery of Vision: the development and communication of a personal philosophy
The book also includes suggested training combinations and coaching tips.

Some useful activities.......2006-11-05
I like the emphasis of this book - if you're someone who runs workshops, then this is a catalog of ideas complete with how to set it up, how to conduct it, and so on. It does not go into EQ theory, just practical modules for seminars and workshops. I use it quite a bit in my work. The only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars is that there is a lot of emphasis on teamwork issues, and there isn't enough on understanding the specific techniques of empathy or managing self.
Not what I expected.......2006-08-30
I don't recommend this book unless you are looking for the same old stuff
Not useful at home.......2005-09-29
These activities are clearly for use at work when you are the boss. Not useful anywhere else.
Exclusively for leaders.......2004-10-14
The book contains some good activities, but the fact that they are ONLY for use with those in leadership positions was not reflected in the title. If you're looking for EQ activities for leadership development, this would be a useful book. Otherwise, look elsewhere.
MORE A BOOK ON GUIDE QUESTIONS THAN ACTIVITIES.......2004-06-21
I was disappointed with this book. Most of the activities were introspective questions (pencil and paper tests).
I was expecting activities that participants can use to improve their EQ. It was not like that at all. I wouldn't recommend this book to trainers who are looking for activities to make their EQ based workshops more interactive.
Perhaps that is the reason why no sample of the "activities" were included in the preview of the book.
Book Description
How does emotional intelligence as a competency go beyond the individual to become something a group or entire organization can build and utilize collectively? Written primarily by members of the Consortium for Research on Emotional Intelligence in Organizations, founded by recognized EI experts Daniel Goleman and Cary Cherniss, this groundbreaking compendium examines the conceptual and strategic issues involved in defining, measuring and promoting emotional intelligence in organizations. The book's contributing authors share fifteen models that have been field-tested and empirically validated in existing organizations. They also detail twenty-two guidelines for promoting emotional intelligence and outline a variety of measurement strategies for assessing emotional and social competence in organizations.

Valid Scientific Writing - misses detailed "How To" answers.......2001-10-17
After being disappointed by Cary Cherniss' book on "promoting" emotional intelligence, I was rather reluctant to spend money on this one, so I ordered a used copy through Amazon (very satisfactory: the copy I got was as good as new). I must say that I find my money well spent. In fact, the only reason why this book doesn't get 5 stars is that it's too scientific for practical application.
For instance, chapter 5 is correct to point out that most tests don't measure emotional intelligence, BUT emotional competence, and then goes on to warn us that a test as Bar-on's EQi test certainly has disadvantages, given it is a self-administered test (In my experience, self-administration of EQ-like tests is particularly dangerous for recruiting and other forms of evaluation). Of course, then the question becomes: BUT I want to test EQ in the context of work, how can I do this in a reliable fashion? You'll find the answer halfway chapter 6, which indicates that Behavior Event Interviews will do the trick (I agree with this, since that's what I experienced as well). Unfortunately, you won't find what kind of questions to ask during such an interview, let alone examples of how to do it.
Also, I was glad that the author of chapter 8 pointed out the same pitfalls of hiring senior executives I have been warning companies for. The suggestions that were outline come close to what we have been doing for several customers, but again the real, practical how to's are missing.
The chapters on training emotional intelligence in part three of the book were more useful than the book "Promoting E.I.", so there is no need at all to buy that other book anymore. Once again, these 4 chapters contain many of the messages one should have when working to develop EQ.
My critique: Except the scientific parts, I found that many of the more practical things this book covers, are "old messages" that can be found in works of Boyatzis, McClelland, Prochaska, Spencer and Spencer, ...
Conclusion? Buy this book if you need a solid scientific basis for your knowledge of emotional intelligence. As far as the how-to's are concerned, this book will serve very well as an outline and a checklist by which one can evaluate the quality of work delivered by a consultant - however, it's not enough to really go out there and "just do it". On the other hand, if you are a consultant recruiting or training for emotional intelligence, this is a MUST READ. Don't get caught not knowing what's in here!...

Useful, but you have to know you need it.......2006-08-18
I feel that this is a terrific book on a very hard subject. A mentor of mine recently told me that it's the "soft" skills that are the "hardest" to learn. This is a great book on the hard soft skill of emotional intelligence.
When reading the negative reviews I am reminded on my inital reaction to this book. I originally felt that this was all common sense and why should I waste my time on it. That was the key to my problem, it is crucial to understand that we all need to develop our EQ along side our IQ. After all, IQ gets you hired, EQ gets you promoted.
Read it, but not without admitting you need it.
Not for me.......2006-02-05
Emotional Intelligence at Work has allot of information that can be used if a person wants to relate experiences in which this book is full of examples. Much of the information I found was psychobabble. Hendrie analyzed experiences and provided handfuls of ways to respond and act. If you want to learn how to act this is your book, if you want to learn how to grow, well, a hand full of examples and psychobabble I'm afraid will not be very helpful. Their is so much info. or analyzed experience to keep track of when its really just part of the natural experience, reading about it doesn't help, only experiencing it does. People need to learn to think for them selves rather then take instructions on how to act in certain situations. The office place didn't work for me, what about people that work in other environments and deal with far different issues then what those in the office do. I found it hard to relate it to working in my every day life. I believe this book could be useful for people that are looking for a solution to try that pertains to specific circumstances they are involved in, then you can read through the book and at some point come across it. This book exercises the intellectual part of the brain, I don't think it's the authors intention for people to memorize a hundred examples then apply them when needed, nor it being a reference book. Nonetheless. pick up a used copy and find out for your self. What may not be helpful to me, can be helpful to you.
Intelligently Listen To Your Own and The Emotions Of Others.......2002-02-12
Emotional Intelligence at Work is an excellent book that teaches people to learn how to take step back, take a deep breath, listen to yourself and listen to others. Techniques to difuse volatile situations between you and your work colleagues. Turn an aggressive confontation into a useful fact gathering session to get to the real source of the problem. Do you know what words to use and sentence structure to apply in order to be direct without attacking or creating a threatning situation with your counterpart? Do you want people to listen to you when you talk? All of these fantastic techniques are found here.
One has to really concentrate and use these techniques daily in order for them to work. I was actually surprised to see the majority of them work "live in action". This text should be mandatory from grade school to the university level.
The author Ph.D. Hendrie Weisinger is a psychologist who uses many different work place examples from his numerous seminars. In many of these situations it is possible for people to see themselves in the characters and the situations that are being portrayed. It is an excellent book for anybody.
Glib.......2001-10-15
Glib, superficial, skinerian: A waste of time.
Great How-To on a Difficult Subject.......2000-06-14
The attention to "emotional intelligence" started with Daniel Goleman's book "Emotional Intelligence" published in 1995. Although an excellent book, this Weisinger book is a better guide to how to USE emotional intelligence. It is full of practical exercises and real world examples. I have used it when I teach the subject and would recommend it if you really want to change and learn new responses when the going gets tough, not just think about it. Best wishes to all who are trying to develop these difficult skills. It ain't easy, but this book makes it easier. A good guide.

LEADING-EDGE RESEARCH AND MULTIPLE VIEWS OF EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE........2005-09-06
The book's primary purposes are
1. to share leading edge research on the link between emotional intelligence (EI) and workplace performance and
2. to examine EI from a variety of vantage points, each with somewhat different ideas about EI.
The key question the book addresses is: Does EI influence work performance? The book's contributions do not allow the reader to come to a simple answer to this key question, but are extremely insightful and enlightening and, I believe, strongly suggest EI is a valid concept and has a crucial link to performance.
The contributions are all first-rate. As research-based chapters, the efforts of the contributors will appeal to academicians, but will also be appreciated by human resource professionals and line executives who want to probe into this critical topic more deeply than the plethora of books on EI spewing forth from a booming EI cottage industry. The book will be especially appealing to all who are interested in organizational psychology and behavior. Very highly recommended.

An essential guide to developing emotional intelligence.......2006-12-30
There are many books on emotional intelligence. What makes this book distinct is that it contains a model for developing emotional intelligence.
As much as I have already read on the topic, Adele's self-coaching model has helped me develop a much greater awareness of myself and ways in which I can improve in the development of the competencies associated with emotional intelligence.
This book is absolutely essential reading for people engaged in consulting and management development. I have made this required reading in my work as an executive coach. Her work has had such an impact on me personally that I do not hesitate to ask my clients to read it.
Adele Lynn Does it Again!.......2004-11-17
Adele B.Lynn, who helped us find honor, has now given us the platform on which to build honorable leadership: emotional intelligence. Others have written on the subject before, but Lynn gives us practical information, exercises and examples that can be put to use in our relationships at work or at home. No leader should be without this well written, relevant handbook.

Great Survey & Business Application.......2002-07-15
This work is somewhat pricy but well researched. Singh provides an excellent guide to the many and varied possibilities of Emotional Intelligence in a professional setting. He also suggests the framework for applying this thinking in many diverse cultures. Thought provoking and extensively documented, Singh provides an interesting read for both the expert and novice alike.
EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AT WORK.......2001-08-03
On 14th August 1998 at 5.00 P.M. Dr.Daniel Goleman delivered the keynote address on ýHow Does Emotional Intelligence Matter at work?ý, at the opening of the 106th Annual Conventions of the American Psychological Association and the closing of 25th International Congress of Applied Psychology at Marriott Hotel, Sanfransisco, U.S.A. It was an amazing personal experience to walk up to him and getting photographed after the event. But he was in no mood to linger on and wallow in the glory of a Star speaker. He said he must leave because he had to attend the marriage of his daughter at 10.00 A.M. on 15th August 2001 in Washington DC, which is about 3 Hours ahead and it takes 6 hours flying time. A speaker has kept his promise and performed excellently by keeping the psychologists spellbound for fifty minutes. He bows in response to a thunderous applause. A father is in a hurry to be with his daughter in a personal event of joy, celebration and marital commitment. Rarely, people are called to enact such contrasting but deeply involving roles of profound emotional intelligence. Dr. Daniel Goleman, the author the great book of ýEmotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQý (1995)?, was on his way to release his recent book ýWorking with Emotional Intelligenceý (1998). I was overwhelmed by being a witness to a great academic event.
At home, another professional has come a long way in highlighting the core concept of EQ. Dr. Dalip Singh, a serving bureaucrat and trained HRD expert now tells the world how to identify and improve your EQ. The movement of a positive and affirmative psychology had reached India. The application of the deeper insights of psychology to work and the recognition of the role of ýEmotions at Worký had culminated. Probably, the overemphasis on the dark, problematic, negative and pessimistic issues like anxiety-stress, violence, war, drug abuse in the 20th century was in a process of balancing itself towards love, understanding, happiness and optimism in the twenty first century. What Dr. Daniel Goleman had started Dr. Dalip Singh is carrying forward.
What is professional success? Can EQ get you promoted?. How to manage your boss?. What are the levels of EQ required for various jobs?. How to handle stress and frustrations in life?. What are the consequences of low and high EQ?. Can EQ be developed?. Dr Singh answers some these questions. He further states that it is the emotional makeup (EQ) of a person which largely determines his or her professional success. It is interesting to note that so many people with high IQ fail whereas those with less intellectual endowment are extremely successful. It in increasingly recognized that IQ may account for only about 20 percent of a persons success in life. The remaining 80 percent depends largely on a personýs emotional intelligence, i.e., EQ. Cognitive Skills get you the job but the emotional skills help thrive once you are hired.
Dr. John Mayer, a University of New Hampshire Psychologist had coined the term ýEmotional Intelligenceý with Dr. Peter Salovey, a Yale University Psychologist in 1990. But it was the best seller by Goleman that Emotional Intelligence became a popular and practical concept. Dr.Dalip Singh, a trained psychologist and doctorate in Management and a serving administrator authors his book with an understanding that Emotional Intelligence or EQ is directly related to success at work and home and elsewhere. It is a compact, comprehensive and straightforward book with pointed direction and specific orientation. Certainly, it extends itself from the concept, its development, pervasiveness, and measurement to its application to different fields of human activity. The emphasis is on understanding, analysis and practice.
Dr. Singh defines Emotional Intelligence (EQ) as ýknowing what feels good, what feels bad and how to get from bad to goodý. An academic definition refers to emotional awareness and emotional management skills, which enable you to balance emotion and reason so as to maximize your long term happiness. It include qualities such as self awareness, ability to manage moods, motivation, empathy and social skills like cooperation and leadership. Sometimes, it is easier to define emotional intelligence by showing how people with a high IQ and low EQ fail disastrously in their professional and personal lives. Certainly a critical, condescending, inhibited and uncomfortable person in comparison to a poised, outgoing, sympathetic, caring, and comfortable person may reach but hardly survive a social universe. The book has an inherent emphasis on what may contribute to corporate success. It is not a denial or neglect of intelligence but a recognition of emotional factors which is pivotal in healthy, fulfilling and productive life. The entire reader friendly narration of the message in this brief and systematic book is towards increasing recognition of emotional factors and not the denied of intellectual factors. A case is built to develop competence through self-awareness, self-regulation, communication, motivation and interpersonal skills. It dispels the myth that Emotional Intelligence does not mean merely ýbeing niceý, giving free rein to feelings, gender bias and a genetically fixed amount of EQ. It rather emphasizes on early childhood training, education, mood management, monitoring, and professional training within the organizations towards emotional monitoring, discipline and harmony. The globalization implies networking and networking has to be positive, supportive and cooperative. The development of the theme through personality aspects, developing and applying Emotional Intelligence in organizations, managing emotions and coping with anger in organizations are apt feathers. In a way the references to the EQ of U.S. Presidents and Indian Prime Ministers are in the realm of human whereas the development of a psychometric test to measure EQ by Dr. N.K. Chadha of University of Delhi, is very significant and useful contribution for organizational research and training.
The book is technically well produced and reasonably priced. For a scholar, trainer, management expert and a layman ýEmotional Intelligence at worký has all the ingredients which will ýworký. As a professional guide the material provided in this volume is an excellent package of theory, skills, strategies and insights for self-development programme, management and administrative workshops and above all to encourage competence enhancement through harvesting of emotions. Dr.Dalip Singh has raised greater expectations by authoring a stimulating book.

Worthwhile Read.......2006-06-10
Just got off a cross-country trip, where I started/finished this week.It's a great "plane book".
In all honesty, wish I had read this some years back at a time when I had a very difficult boss.
It's an easy read with some good, practical suggestions.
There is also a self-assessment component, something I usually dislike, but here I really got into it and found the "results" sometimes surprising (to me).
Even if you don't hate your boss/job, I think it's an interesting read. Also a perfect gift for those friends who are constantly whining about their bosses!
I rate it a 4 out of 5 because, at least for me, it got a bit wordy at the end. If you start skim-reading toward the end, it's a def 5!
Sole Proprietor, Still Dealing with Nonsense!.......2006-06-09
I left the corporate world several years ago to escape drudgery
and daily bickering with employees. Now I hold my client's hands instead of my employees!
Ms. Jansen's no nonsense approach to dealing with difficult individuals really resonates with me. Whether you answer to a Board of Directors, or to Yourself, read this book! She asks you to examine YOUR behavior as well. Bravo Julie!!!!
Keep your sense of humor, remain optimistic, breathe & get this book for your or your company's library!!!

You Want Me to Work with Who?.......2006-06-01
I was a big fan of Julie Jansen's after reading her first book, "I Don't Know What I Want, But I Know It's Not This." In fact, reading that book at an important juncture in my life helped successfully propel me forward to go back to school for my MFA and to reignite my passion for writing. So I just had to read "You Want Me to Work with Who?" when it came out. There is a real longevity value to this book. It's not trendy or too "today." I think the advice given will apply ten years from now, and I also think it can be applied to a lot of different situations (not just "the office" - in fact, I thought about how helpful this book can be for everything from going back for an MBA or joining the PTO - situations that attract very different personalities!) What I love most about Julie's books are that there is a depth to them. The experience is not just about reading words, but you have the opportunity to do exercises that let you look inside yourself and how the concepts she writes about apply to you and your situations - while giving realistic advice about what to do.
Insightful and fun.......2006-04-21
Julie Jansen gives solid advice on how to get a work life you like. I love her self-assessment exercises - they can help everyone.
Excellent Resource!.......2006-04-03

I haven't had a lot of time to pour over this yet, but it seems like it will be a great resource. It came highly recommended to me. I like that you can pick and choose the elements that are the most crucial to your program to start with.
Bring Your Self To Work.......2005-08-15
I will definetly incorporate it for my after-school staff trainings
What An Eye Opener.......2003-12-10
When I first heard about the Bringing Yourself to Work project I thought - "This is amazing! Emotional intelligence is such an important component of success for school-age staff and school-age programs. This is just what the field needs!".
Then I discovered that Michelle and Pat had written a book on the subject. I quickly ordered one and once I started reading it I couldn't put it down. The stories about the interactions that staff has with children are so genuine and the steps to reaching a better understanding of yourself and your workgroup are so easy to comprehend that it makes you want to call a staff meeting to get started right away!
The impact of an emotionally intelligent self and staff cannot be overstated and The Model for Change provides step-by-step instructions and encouragement that help the reader connect to the material in a meaningful way. It is motivational and inspirational to realize that the "soft skills" that are not so readily recognized as indicators of academic success but are indicators of life success can be developed and enhanced in everyone.
I heartily recommend this book particularly for folks in the fields of education, child care, school-age care, or youth development. However, the truth is that any reader can benefit from the principles and exercises included in this book.
Book Description
The ideas expressed in Emotional Intelligence ten years ago have taken on a life of their own. They spurred a movement, with enthusiastic adherents in the business world, in medicine and healthcare, at home, in the field of education and the world at large. Several million people, including business managers, human resource departments, healthcare workers, teachers, parents and students, have applied the ideas and principles expressed in Emotional Intelligence to their fields with tangible and quantifiable results. Leading with Emotional Intelligence Conversations is an ongoing dialogue series that begins with luminaries in the field of business. In the world of business we have only scratched the surface of how principles of emotional intelligence can increase profitability and efficiency in the workplace.
