At the Heart of Leadership

Reviews

“Assuming that all leaders today ‘get’ that relationships are the pathways to progress and ultimately success, the information assembled here by Joshua Freedman is an important read for any leader looking to take it higher. The information is clear and intriguing and the examples are relevant and interesting and applicable to all aspects of life. Thanks Joshua for your leadership and devotion to the subject of emotional intelligence.”

“I’ve worked with hundreds of leaders over the last 40 years. The few who exemplify a high emotional intelligence stand head and shoulders above others in their performance, quality of life, and the lasting value they create for all stakeholders. In At the Heart of Leadership Freedman shows why that’s true – and he offers us an opportunity to grow to become the leaders we’ve always meant to be. Highly recommended.”

“This book is wonderfully practical, Josh’s ability to clearly articulate the complex connection between emotions, behavioral patterns and bottom line performance, makes it an inspiring and powerful business tool, easy to read and ready to use... thank you Josh for writing it”

“The Heart of Leadership is an outstanding and eminently practical guide for anyone who hopes to be a great mentor, to influence with integrity and to truly lead organizations. Joshua Freedman has a unique gift for engaging people from all walks of life in learning and professional transformation – this book is a must-read for leaders everywhere!”

“Josh manages to articulate a clear message in a very easy to read book that can be used by leaders in any profession. Moving away from purely task-oriented skills and recognizing that success, or failure, can be attributed to concepts of emotional intelligence is at once refreshing but also challenging. Once we as leaders begin to acknowledge that this component is not only important within the behavior, action, emotion triangle but that EQ can be enhanced, we can use these skills to improve the success of our teams and therefore our companies. Highly recommended.”

“The concepts in this book give leaders the tactical edge they need to handle the complexities of change. This is a practical approach to leading with emotional intelligence that can help leaders stay on course to accomplish their mission.”
