The Emotional Intelligence Quick Book: Everything You Need to Know to Put Your EQ to Work by Travis Bradberry and Jean Greaves (Simon & Schuster)
The Emotional Intelligence Quick Book is just that–a quick overview of the basic concepts of what has become known recently as emotional intelligence. The authors state that “emotional intelligence requires effective communication between the rational and emotional centers of the brain” and show how emotional intelligence is the outgrowth of two main skills–personal competence, which they divide into self-awareness and self-management; and social competence, subdivided into social awareness and relationship management.
One of the book's troubling omissions is that the authors referred to emotional intelligence as EQ (rather than EI, as others in this field do), without ever telling the reader why they are using “Q” for “intelligence.” In this and some other areas of the book, the writers give inadequate explanation for their ideas.
