Leading with Feeling
For many decades, the conventional wisdom was that emotion has no place in the work world, and the ideal leader is one who approaches problems rationally and unemotionally. However, the reality is that emotion is inevitable when a group of people come together for an extended period of time to work on challenging tasks, and if used effectively, a leader's moods and emotions can be a plus rather than a minus. This book describes how 25 outstanding leaders used emotional intelligence to deal with critical challenges and opportunities. Featuring commentary from the leaders themselves describing how they handled each situation, it helps managers better understand not just what emotional intelligence is, or how to measure it, or how it is linked to bottom-line results: it also shows how real leaders used their emotional intelligence to deal with real situations. The book distills the leaders' experiences into nine strategies that can help any leader or potential leader to be more effective. Each chapter concludes with activities that help readers to apply immediately each of those strategies.
Restless
It is 1939. Eva Delectorskaya is a beautiful 28-year-old Russian émigrée living in Paris. As war breaks out she is recruited for the British Secret Service by Lucas Romer, a mysterious Englishman, and under his tutelage she learns to become the perfect spy, to mask her emotions and trust no one, including those she loves most. Since the war, Eva has carefully rebuilt her life as a typically English wife and mother. But once a spy, always a spy. Now she must complete one final assignment, and this time Eva can't do it alone: she needs her daughter's help.
The Science of Diversity
"Using a multidisciplinary approach, The Science of Diversity reveals the theories, principles, and paradigms that illuminate people's understanding of the issues surrounding human diversity, social equality, and justice. Noted psychologist and educator Dr. Mona Weissmark assembles a rich array of research from anthropology, biology, religious studies, and the social sciences to write a scholarly diorama of diversity. This book contextualizes diversity historically, tracing the evolution of ideas about "the other" and about "we" and "them" to various forms of social organization-from the "hunter-gather," face-to-face, shared resource model to the anomie of megacities. Moreover, it explicates...
The Oxford Handbook of Career Development

It engages in a trans-disciplinary and international dialogue that explores current ideas and debates from a variety of viewpoints including socio-economic, political, educational, and social justice perspectives.

The handbook is divided into three sections. The first section explores the economic, educational, and public policy contexts within which careers are enacted.

The third section addresses the broad spectrum of helping practices to support both individuals and groups including career guidance, career counseling, and career learning interventions. Keywords: Career; career development, career counseling, career guidance, career learning, career theory, public policy, social justice"--
The Handbook of Personality Dynamics and Processes
The Handbook of Personality Dynamics and Processes is a primer to the basic and most important concepts, theories, methods, empirical findings, and applications of personality dynamics and processes. This book details how personality psychology has evolved from descriptive research to a more explanatory and dynamic science of personality, thus bridging structure- and process-based approaches, and it also reflects personality psychology's interest in the dynamic organization and interplay of thoughts, feelings, desires, and actions within persons who are always embedded into social, cultural and historic contexts. The Handbook of Personality Dynamics and Processes tackles each topic with a ra...

A realização não necessariamente vem de experiências isoladas, e sim de uma rotina boa e consistente. Mas como atingir esse ponto? Em Optimal, Daniel Goleman e Cary Cherniss revelam como a inte...
Optimaal
Een nieuwe kijk op emotionele intelligentie: praktische tools om optimaal te presteren, werkgeluk te bevorderen en het verschil te maken in jouw team of organisatie. We kennen allemaal momenten waarop we topprestaties leveren: een atleet speelt een perfecte wedstrijd, een bedrijf heeft een kwartaal met een ongekende winst. Maar dit zijn vaak geïsoleerde piekervaringen. Tegenover elke geweldige dag staan misschien wel honderd gewone of zelfs onbevredigende dagen. Dus hoe kunnen we in ons werk op een constant hoog niveau functioneren en tegelijkertijd stress en burn-outs voorkomen? In ‘Optimaal’ laten Daniel Goleman en Cary Cherniss zien hoe ‘emotionele intelligentie’ hierbij kan helpen. Aan de hand van belangrijke begrippen als emotionele balans, concentratie, flow en bewustzijn van zichzelf, leggen ze uit hoe je emotionele intelligentie kunt inzetten om elke dag op dat optimale niveau te werken. Daarnaast bieden ze praktische tools om toe te passen in jouw team of organisatie, om zo een cultuur te creëren waar op continue basis topprestaties geleverd worden.
