Infos

Managers wrestle daily with emotional leadership challenges because emotions and relationships influence organizational energy, commitment, and financial results. This book helps managers strike a balance between feeling and reason in a professional and ethical manner with attention to the manager's position in the hierarchy of the organization. The authors argue that all managers need to develop their own leadership style based on who they are as persons, their convictions and the circumstances in which they find themselves. This book shows managers how to use judgement, experience, reflection and general knowledge to be better leaders. The book also describes managerial responsibility for the conditions that create a compassionate and effective work environment where emotions can be expressed in ways that constructively benefit the entire organization
