This book provides an assessment tool of 50 questions for ranking and teaches two sets of skills for emotionally intelligent leadership. 1. 5 Core Skills for the individual: knowing yourself, maintaining control, reading others, perceiving accurately and communicating with flexibility. 2. 5 Higher-order Skills for leadership: taking responsibility, generating choices, embracing a vision, having courage and demonstrating resolve. Reasons for the usefulness of these skills, stories and exercises are provided. There are also action techniques. For the Core Skills: we have PaRC Formula--pause, reflect, choose, Core Connecting in focus, Syncing-In with intuition, Focused Listening, Re-Framing, Process Communication. For the Higher-order Skills: Responsibility Checklist, Choice Building, Vision Linking, Lighting the Fire of our courage and Firming Up in finding support, network and new ways to get things done. People who use the book in the context of a workshop may be attracted by the simplicity of these skills and gain much through practice, sharing and the facilitation by the author. As a book, it seems to consist mostly of common sense and the content is a bit slim.
