Your major project at work should have been a success. You had the strategy, the right people in the room, and support from upper-level management. So why did it fail? It's the same reason why many of your favorite rock bands break up. Drama, big egos, the inability to work with others, lack of listening, disrespect, talking behind other people's backs, taking credit for others' work, and the list goes on and on. Rock bands are put together for their IQ, just like teams in the workplace. Whether work teams or rock bands are successful depends on their EQ (Or Emotional Intelligence), not their IQ. In the early 1990s Daniel Goldman unleashed the EQ movement and began the discussion around how important and impactful emotional intelligence is in your personal life and in the workplace. The positive or negative effects of emotional intelligence can significantly change the outcome of your project or goals. This book explores Emotional Intelligence in a new and exciting way by making the correlation between EQ, rock bands, and teams at work. EQ Killed the Radio Star offers a simple explanation of Emotional Intelligence and presents six EQ tools that can help you increase your effectiveness and live a better, more productive life.
