Emotionally Intelligent LeadershipBecause the campus environment provides a rich array of diversity and opportunities for honing leadership skills, college students are in the unique position of having a "learning lab" at their disposal.Emotionally Intelligent Leadership is a groundbreaking book that combines the concepts of emotional intelligence and leadership in one model—emotionally intelligent leadership (EIL).

Student Reviews
17 Oct 2008
Format:Paperback
Below are two student reviews for this great book! They were unable to post but I wanted to share anyways....
Courtney S. (Columbia, SC):
Emotionally Intelligent Leadership is a useful tool in developing leadership skills in seemingly any condition. It was detailed enough to be easily applied in situations, but did not go into a painfully long explanation which kept it an easy read. The book offered many alternate ways of looking at and dealing with situations that I had not previously considered. I would recommend it to any college student. Even if you're not in a leadership position currently, EIL can help you to improve skills and assist you in attaining goals.
Via N. (Columbia, SC)
This is a great book for students, especially those that are in college. It points out skills that you need to become a good and successful leader. There are inserted opinions from others such as students or members of organizations that give their insight on specific skills. It is a very easy read and there are also questions at the end of every chapter that helps you reflect.

Terrible book
17 Oct 2008
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I had to buy this book for a class... Its agony to read and filled solely with common sense information. Also, super expensive for a paperback with gigantic font and monster margins. Its like paying for used paper...
