Psychologist and author of Emotional Intelligence and Focus, Daniel Goleman has helped transform the way the world educates children, relates to family and friends, and conducts business. The Wall Street Journal ranked him one of the 10 most influential business thinkers.
In his latest book, A Force for Good: The Dalai Lama's Vision for Our World, Goleman — who was personally selected by the Dalai Lama — combines the Dalai Lama’s key teachings, empirical evidence, and true accounts of people putting his lessons into practice, offering readers practical applications for making the world a better place.
Goleman’s Emotional Intelligence was on The New York Times best sellers list for a year-and-a-half. His follow-up, Working With Emotional Intelligence, outlined the importance of EI in professional settings.
The groundbreaking Primal Leadership: Unleashing the Power of Emotional Intelligence, which Goleman co-wrote with Richard Boyatzis and Annie McKee, unveiled scientific evidence proving that a leader’s emotional competencies have an enormous impact on an organisation’s bottom line.
Goleman’s work on the brain and behavioural science was nominated twice for the Pulitzer Prize and recognised with the Washburn Award and Lifetime Career Award from the American Psychological Association.
A former science journalist for The New York Times, he was named to the 2011 and 2013 Thinkers50 and a top business guru by Accenture Institute for Strategic Change. His article “What Makes a Leader?” remains the most requested reprint in the history of Harvard Business Review.
