dealing with others.<br />
Emotional Intelligence: Why it Can Matter More Than IQ<br />
1996 - Daniel Goleman<br />

ISBN-13: 978-0141029191<br />
This book is the antithesis to those that prescribe how to be the life and soul of a party or at the office. It explains<br />
some of the theory around some of us are more introverted than others and then how this can be used as a<br />
strength in our relationships. It is a thoughtful book that has the power to unravel some of the reasons why our<br />
quietness can be such a strong attribute. A good book for the quiet leader.<br />
