Emotional Talent - The Management Mega Skill That Drives High Performance and Exceptional Results

This refreshing new management book boldly lifts the lid on why most organisations fail to have thriving people who love their work and create results that excel. It thrusts managers – not senior leaders, pay or perks to the forefront of employee motivation because managers are the catalysts for unleashing extraordinary levels of human potential called flourishing.

The key to people flourishing is more than knowing how to be a good manager. The critical element that creates this level of people performance is emotional talent; a highly honed form of emotional intelligence for leaders and managing people. This skill has the power to motivate people to perform proactively and passionately. It elevates people management talent to a strategic mega skill, especially crucial in an era marked by leadership challenges stemming from complexity, rapid change, and low employee engagement.

Written by a former international corporate manager who led highly motivated and performing teams this book leans on the author's twenty-five year career combined with her own study of human potential to offers real life accounts of how people thrive at work and why they don’t. Written in an authentic style and with a gift for critical thinking and independent observation, it gets into the heart of human dynamics in the workplace and what people seek personally for an enriched and successful professional life. Packed with compelling published data and research, this indispensable management and leadership book is a highly practical guide for developing emotional talent for anyone responsible for managing people or working in Human Resources.
