In his 1995 bestseller, Emotional Intelligence, psychologist Daniel Goleman drew on a wealth of new research to argue persuasively that what we usually think of as intelligence - as measured by IQ - is far less important as a predictor of a person's path in life than one's supply of attributes he calls emotional intelligence. In his sequel, Working With Emotional Intelligence, he zeroes in on how these qualities, or the lack of them, can make or break your career. In an interview, Goleman talks about way emotional intelligence is more essential now than ever - and how to tell whether your emotional intelligence could stand some improvement.
