Self-awareness

Self-awareness is the bedrock of emotional intelligence. It enables you to see your talents, shortcomings, and potential. But you won't be able to achieve self-awareness through personality tests or quarterly feedback alone.

This book will teach you how to understand your thoughts and emotions, how to persuade colleagues to share what they really think of you, and why self-awareness will spark more productive and rewarding relationships with your employees and bosses.

This volume includes the work of:

• Daniel Goleman
• Robert Steven Kaplan
• Susan David
• Tasha Eurich
