THE INNER COMPASS FOR ETHICS & EXCELLENCE

In this supplement to Goleman’s Emotional Intelligence series, the author and feminist leadership expert Naomi Wolf present a dialogue related to women, leadership, and ethics. Goleman and Wolf speak precisely and crisply in a give-and-take conversation that allows listeners to consider both traditional aspects of leadership, such as role modeling and mentoring, as well as newer ideas, such as a "discouraged behaviors" list promoted by organizations to discourage negative habits such as gossiping. This conversation will be of interest to anyone working with young female leaders who is looking for new ideas in how to foster authenticity, a sense of agency, and purpose—all of which Wolf exudes through her warmly articulated responses.
