The authors of the book cannot be trusted. They are using daily propaganda mixed with scientific data.
Recently I got a copy of “Primal leadership, Learning to Lead with Emotional Intelligence” and started reading it with great interest. But very soon I was disappointed when I read on p 24 the authors’ reference to Slobodan Milosevic where they wrote “The Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic, for example, was a master at fanning the flames of ethnic hatred…”.
After I have read this statement on Slobodan Milosevic I lost interest in the book, since I could not be sure what else in the book is unsubstantiated and unproven statements that authors are using freely, just to make their illustrations more appealing to the political correctness and official policy du jour.
There was not a single reference to a speech where Slobodan Milosevic was “fanning the flames of ethnic hatred”.
I wasted my money on the book. Too bad I cannot return the book to the authors and ask for my money back.

Primal Leadership; Realizing the Power of Emptional Intelligence by bestselling author Daniel Goleman and his coauthors theorize on emotional intelligence suggesting a logical premise for creating emotionally intelligent leaders.
Daniel Goleman and his coauthors emphathize the importance of developing what they term (resonant leadership) focusing on the four domains of emotional intelligence — (self awarness, self management, social awarness, and relationship management).
The over-all idea of the author insists the fundamental task of leaders…is to prime positive feelings in those they lead.
Primal Leadership is a thought provoking book worth reading!

It is direct book, straight to the point. It has much less neurocinetic theory and much more day-to-day concepts. Even if you haven’t finished Daniel Goleman privious books, try this one !!!

The control board ‘Emotion’ requires balanced computerised system programming of Thoughts and Actions. How Powerful are emotions that override circumstances with ease! The author focus on four domains of emotional intelligence – self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management. At a workplace, Management always stands at cross roads and is hard to understand but you got to slowly convince coz they too need to be Savvy in some areas too. In Primal Leadership, the author emphasis on ’smart leaderships’ to cultivate emotionally intelligent savvy leaders.
The development of the four EI competencies initiate leadership qualities that call attention to vision for their organization restricting the commanding and authority style which hinders pace setting reach. The author Daniel Goleman discuss on the research done with Executives who render real life examples. The leaders do need to nurture good feelings and develop human relations in those people whom they lead. Though the concept remains the same like in ‘Emotional Intelligence’, Daniel Goleman implies to repeat the same rule. Most successful leaders are emotionally intelligent but yet remains problems to tackle with new ideas, diversed fields and more and over, Emotionally being stable to balance to lead the organization to par excellence. Communication is the key to success and that is also one factor that misleads many Leaders to stumble the blocks with the correlated managers and staff. Leaders get ’stalled’ and hooked off emotionally knocking off the tolerance of the Executives who no longer stick to the rule of ‘grudge & grumbles’ – No way, flying them off to check out for better prospects elsewhere as we see these days. Daniel’s book is an insight to be Emotionally sound and so if you haven’t read his earlier book, sure this is the pick! Go ahead, adopt the Leadership styles!
