Product Description

Product Description

A decade on from its birth, emotional intelligence is attracting more attention than ever before. Why? Because of its proven connection to performance. Tomorrow′s leaders will have to be facilitators who work collaboratively to help others develop their potential, and this will require emotionally intelligent skills and attitudes. Against this landscape, Applied EI provides the tools and advice needed to develop and manage a relationship with yourself and create positive relationships with others – the twin cornerstones of emotional intelligence.

We′re all capable of acting with emotional intelligence. Most of us don′t, because internal interferences – misguided beliefs and attitudes learnt in childhood – get in the way. Countering this, Applied EI attaches unique importance to the role of attitudes in developing and applying emotional intelligence. Tim Sparrow and Amanda Knight stress that EI isn′t a synonym for personality; it′s about managing personality. That′s why knowing how to put EI into practice is essential. And that′s why reducing EI to a single number or score misses the point, and serves only to give us another measure by which to judge ourselves and others.

Anyone interested in performance improvement today needs to be interested in emotional intelligence. Applied EI shows how our attitudes underpin our EI, explores how to develop emotionally intelligence attitudes, and lays out tactics for applying them in practice. It discusses what is needed at individual, team and leadership development levels, and considers what it means to be an EI practitioner. Its practical approach and unique perspective make it a must–read for anyone involved in the field of personal development.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, the truth about EI!, 2 May 2007
By 
Mr. Stephen J. Neale (Sussex, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Applied Emotional Intelligence: The Importance of Attitudes in Developing Emotional Intelligence (Hardcover)
Definately the best book about EI I have come across (and I've read lots of them!). Unlike other theories on EI, Amanda and Tim use solid evidence on how our brain works to reinforce the connection between attitudes, emotions and behaviour. The book is easy to read and clearly laid out, with section 1 explaining the necessary theoretical background to EI. Section 2 focuses on the 16 main scales of EI, with clear explanations and guidelines about how to develop your EI. Section 3 takes a practical look at how EI can be applied in the workplace, focusing on leadership, teams, assessing EI and lots more practical applications. This book is an essential resource for anyone wanting to understand the truth about how we operate as human beings.

5.0 out of 5 stars Intelligent Easy Read, 28 Dec 2010
By 
Ms. M. Goldsmith "MG" (London UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Applied Emotional Intelligence: The Importance of Attitudes in Developing Emotional Intelligence (Hardcover)
I brought this book at the suggestion of a colleague and I have to say I would recommend this book to anyone. It takes a difficult subject and makes it easier to understand than most books on this subject. It is well written, provides the information at a digestible rate. It was a good price and despatched quickly.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best Emotional Intelligence model there is!, 4 May 2007
By 
C. Lake (West Sussex, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Applied Emotional Intelligence: The Importance of Attitudes in Developing Emotional Intelligence (Hardcover)
Tim and Amanda have taken their considerable knowledge and research into the area of Emotional Intelligence and produced a book that is accessible, readable and useful to both practitioners and clients alike. Most books on EI are fairly poor - but this book is different - it's great! Unlike some EI models, which can be flaky and unproven, the model described here is built on the authors' own robust research and draws on a substantial and tested methodology: Transactional Analysis. Tim and Amanda make a clear and compelling link between core self-regard, personal attitudes, emotions and behaviour. Anyone interested in understanding themselves (and others) better should read this book!
