WHAT MAKES A LEADER? A Leading With Emotional Intelligence Conversation with Jack and Suzy Welch

In an all too brief interview with a former HARVARD BUSINESS REVIEW editor and the GE management legend, Goleman (EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE) elicits a series of insights that are concise and important. What's even more revealing is the sound of the married couple's voices: Hers is mostly stern and intellectual while his, flawed and surprisingly timid, seems at odds with the determination he used to run up GE's market value $400 billion during his tenure. But his ideas are as strong as ever as he explains the leadership capacities of competitiveness, vision, authenticity, collaboration, teamwork, self-confidence, empathy, and adaptability. Though Goleman participates productively in this interview, even his stunning leadership ideas become background noise once his two powerhouse guests take the microphone.
