Abstract

Over the last decade, there has been extensive research done on emotional intelligence (EQ). Peter Salovey, Jack Mayer, and Reuven Bar-On are some of the pre-eminent researchers in this field and Daniel Goleman’s book Emotional Intelligence published in 1995 really ignited the current interest in the subject. Goleman’s follow on books Working with Emotional Intelligence and Primal Leadership shifted the focus of EQ from a general discussion to the powerful role that emotional intelligence plays in the workplace in general and leadership in particular.
