The top ten most empathic companies outperform the bottom ten by at least 50%. Google's Project Aristotle found empathy made teams more collaborative and accomplished. Here’s what to do: Build connections and stronger relationships - Assess the emotions of others - Address issues that affect performance - Encourage collaboration - Strengthen teamwork, morale, and engagement.

Emotional intelligence isn’t soft, nor is it easy, but it is powerful. Being positive and maintaining a proactive attitude are essential for high performance.

This book shows how to do it.
