Product Description

The ideas expressed in Emotional Intelligence ten years ago have taken on a life of their own. They spurred a movement, with enthusiastic adherents in the business world, in medicine and healthcare, at home, in the field of education and the world at large. Several million people, including business managers, human resource departments, healthcare workers, teachers, parents and students, have applied the ideas and principles expressed in Emotional Intelligence to their fields with tangible and quantifiable results. Leading with Emotional Intelligence Conversations is an ongoing dialogue series that begins with luminaries in the field of business. In the world of business we have only scratched the surface of how principles of emotional intelligence can increase profitability and efficiency in the workplace.

Peter Senge, is the founder of the Center for Organizational Learning at MIT’s Sloan School of Management, as well as the author of The Fifth Discipline—a pioneering work that presents Senge’s idea of the “learning organization”—management principals based on systems thinking. In the fourth installment of this powerful audiobook series, Peter Senge and Daniel Goleman discuss how emotional intelligence is an integral part of the “learning organization,” and what organizations need to do to continue to grow, learn and succeed.

From AudioFile
Daniel Goleman uses his considerable interview skills to draw insights from a noted organizational learning expert. His questions are as much expository as they are probing. Goleman has an extensive supply of behavioral science expertise and anecdotes and is talented at creating a collaborative flow. Based on Senge's latest book, the conversation is about the value of staying open to the present moment and suspending belief in service of learning. Both authors say listening to others and acting from a collective truth is more powerful than thinking alone or acting within a rigid chain of command. The universality and reach of these ideas are enormous and made even more powerful by the spontaneity and energy in the authors' voices.

A Higher Level of Interacting5
OK, so what do you get when the authors of two of your favorite topics get together? An amazing exchange that captivates, challenges, and delights!

That's what I got when I purchased this CD. Daniel Goleman, whose research and publications in the new and exciting field of Emotional Intelligence has provided the world with an understanding of emotions, engages Peter Senge in a dialogue that takes the listener deep into the realm of human interaction. Senge's work on "Presence" stands on its own as a work of art in deepening human relationships.

Senge, author of "The Fifth Discipline" and co-contributor of "The Fifth Discipline Fieldbook", shares how the dialogue process contributes to individual and collective learning. He defines learning as "creating capacity" to perform. Dialogue breaks down when people allow themselves to venture off into various levels of silence or violence when emotions start to get out of hand, and thus, the relationship to Goleman's work on Emotional Intelligence.

Goleman writes in one of his many books on the topic, "Today we are being judged by a different yardstick; not by how smart we are, or by our expertise, but by how we manage our own emotions and the emotions of others." The four domains of Emotional Intelligence (Self-Awareness, Self-Management, Social Awareness, and Relationship Management) provide the framework for the development of our emotional capacities to deal with even the toughest of issues in organizations and in other areas of our lives.

Albert Einstein is quoted as saying, "The significant problems we face cannot be solved with the same level of thinking that created them." The work that Goleman and Senge do (and discuss in this CD) is a leap in the direction of creating that higher level of thinking that's needed in the world. EVERY POLITICIAN and world leader would benefit from reading and applying these principles.

And, by the way, I have reviewed another book that offers a procedural method of applying these principles. Check out "The World Cafe". Stephen Covey's work, "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People", also provides practical application of the principles, paradigms, and practices that help you build these skills.
