Intellect and technical knowledge alone can't get you where you want to go, but combine them with the power of Emotional intelligence (EI) and you become unstoppable. By learning to access your EI, you can use the information and creative power of your emotions to improve and guide your thinking. Like a personal coach, The Art of Leading Yourself speaks to your head and your heart-the first leadership/self-development book that actually places a high value on all of your emotions. Becoming more aware of your feelings-and learning to manage them-will enable you to: Recognize and overcome obstacles Motivate and inspire others Create more satisfying relationships Become a true leader, not a follower"
