Description
“The New Leaders: Transforming the Art of Leadership into the Science of Results” is a book by Daniel Goleman, a psychologist and author best known for his work on emotional intelligence. This book, published in 2002, focuses on the evolving understanding of leadership in the modern corporate world and how it can be adapted to achieve better results.
In “The New Leaders,” Goleman argues that leadership in the business world is no longer solely about traditional hierarchical authority and command-and-control management styles. Instead, effective leadership in the modern business environment requires a blend of traditional leadership skills and emotional intelligence. Goleman draws on his previous research in emotional intelligence to emphasize the importance of self-awareness, self-regulation, empathy, and social skills in leaders.
The book highlights the shift from an autocratic and top-down leadership style to a more collaborative, team-oriented, and emotionally intelligent approach. Goleman provides insights and practical advice for both aspiring and existing leaders on how to cultivate emotional intelligence, make better decisions, manage conflict, and build strong, effective teams.
“The New Leaders” also explores the concept of “resonant leadership,” where leaders who are in tune with their own emotions and the emotions of those they lead can create a positive work environment that fosters creativity, motivation, and productivity.
This book has been influential in reshaping the way leadership is understood and practiced in modern organizations. It emphasizes that effective leadership is not just about expertise or technical skills but also about the ability to connect with people, understand their emotions, and create a work environment that encourages collaboration and innovation. It has been a valuable resource for those looking to develop their leadership skills in the 21st-century corporate world.
