Recommendation

Coach Anthony Mersino teaches the basics of emotional intelligence as it applies to project managers, in particular, and then guides you through its practical use. He shows you how to understand and control your emotions and how to relate to the feelings of those around you. Mersino explains why PMs need self-awareness and self-management. He shows that emotional intelligence can lead to greater job satisfaction and better collegial relationships, which, in turn, will make you a more effective manager. His relevant, articulate presentation provides a basic foundation, so it’s not really directed to readers who are already conversant with formal management studies or organizational psychology. Yet, it’s a smart, thorough introduction and a good refresher course on core concepts, so getAbstract recommends it not just to project directors, but to all managers.

Take-Aways

  • Emotional intelligence is the ability to perceive and control your feelings.
  • Project managers need emotional intelligence to lead teams of people who haven’t worked together before and who share only the project’s deadline.
  • A positive team environment ensures smooth functioning of the project.
