If you are familiar with Daniel Goleman's theories on emotional intelligence (EI), then you know his ideas have substantially changed our understanding of what it means to be smart. In Primal Leadership, Goleman and his co-authors encourage us to understand that a leader's emotions are contagious: leaders who are energetic and enthusiastic help an organization thrive; leaders who spread negativity and dissonance can prevent an organization from succeeding—or worse. Based on research that included more than 3800 executives, the authors present methods by which leaders can learn to use emotional energy effectively. Following an explanation of how EI works for individuals, the authors apply a model to an entire organization.
