Review: 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.

As a book, it seems to consist mostly of common sense and the content is a bit slim.
