“In the fast lane of business life today, people spend more time on computer keyboards, BlackBerries and conference calls than they do in face-to-face communication.

In this increasingly complex web, emotional intelligence is more important than ever before. This book is filled with invaluable insights and information that no one can afford to ignore.”

“Emotional intelligence is a critical determinant of a physician’s ultimate success or failure. Drs. Bradberry and Greaves have hit the bull’s-eye with this timely research-based resource.

“Success in my business is quantifiable and backing highly effective CEOs in our portfolio companies has been the key. There is no doubt in my mind that this book hits the nail on the head. Emotional intelligence in an individual determines the outcome more than any other factor, and is the one least understood. This book is a ‘must read’ for managers to gain insight and create a plan to improve their effectiveness as well as the success of the organization.”
