Book Synopsis

Jetzt neu: Weisingers Bestseller als Broschurausgabe! Weisinger gilt als führender Experte auf dem Gebiet emotionaler Intelligenz. Er vertritt die These, daß der berufliche Aufstieg weniger von analytischen oder speziellen unternehmerischen Fähigkeiten abhängt, sondern vielmehr vom richtigen Einsatz emotionaler Intelligenz, d.h. von der Fähigkeit, seine Gefühle zielgerichtet einzusetzen. Anders als der IQ ist die emotionale Intelligenz nicht vorgegeben, sondern kann entwickelt und gesteigert werden. In diesem praktischen Leitfaden erfahren Sie Schritt für Schritt, wie Sie die wesentlichen Fähigkeiten emotionaler Intelligenz erlernen können - Selbstbewußtsein, Umgang mit Stimmungen, Selbstmotivation sowie soziale und zwischenmenschliche Kompetenz. Weisinger erklärt, wie diese Fähigkeiten z.B. erfolgreich eingesetzt werden können bei Verhandlungen, im Umgang mit schwierigen Kollegen, zur Verbesserung der Arbeitsmoral und Motivation oder bei der Anpassung an Veränderungen. Mit einer Fülle praktischer Beispiele und Übungsaufgaben.
