'To be successful, you need to have emotional intelligence. Plain and simple. This book is a must-read for anyone wanting an entirely new way to better understand how to use one's emotions in the workplace and how to manage them in others. The authors have a unique approach and provide useful tools to help you not only assess, but to also learn and apply these important skills in order to be more effective both personally and professionally in the twenty-first century.' Sherry Gibson, Vice President, Fifth Third Bank

'This book has practical application for everyone from the mailroom clerk to the CEO. This is an innovative, practical approach to deal with these vastly under-emphasized skills. Mergers and integration activities may be the most difficult 'emotional' tests due to the competitive nature of the process. I have personally witnessed up closeand personal many talented employees who would have benefited tremendously by maning their emotional intelligence more effectively. This is a very important subject any time but particularly now as the face of business is changing during these challenging economic times.' Roger P. Henry, CEO, Staples Promotional Products, Overland Park, Kansas.
