Ginsberg and Davies describe the importance of emotions in
interactions that managers have with employees, peers, and bosses,
and how they affect their leadership abilities. A topic usually
ignored in training programs, emotional leadership is addressed as
the authors discuss their experiences interviewing leaders in
different contexts and ways to deal with interactions. They
describe research findings about leadership, emotions,
intelligence, and emotional intelligence from a variety of fields
and discuss topics such as job stress, burnout, and cultural
perspectives of success. Then, they present their findings from
leaders in business and educational organizations about how their
decisions affected them emotionally, and how to deal with special
circumstances, such as difficult employees and decisions. Coping
mechanisms and strategies to prepare for reactions are also
detailed.
