It is even more crucial in Asia where there is a higher tendency for emotions to be hidden beneath the surface of daily business interactions. Emotions are assets for a leader when wisely used, and a source of disruption if ignored. EQ and Leadership in Asia provides business leaders in Asia with the keys to using emotions as allies to face practical leadership challenges. In the first part of this book, Emotional Intelligence is presented in a clear way, in all its dimensions. Readers who have no idea about it can get a good understanding of what it is, why it matters particularly in Asia, and how to systematically develop their own EI. The contribution of Asian thought to the field of Emotional Intelligence is also discussed. The second part of the book contains a review of a series of practical challenges that leaders in Asia have to face and a detailed look at the applications of EI in facing these challenges. Offering practical exercises, real-life examples, and valuable applications from Asia, this compelling book is essential reading for leaders who want to inspire and influence their people and organizations to greater success. Reviews "Leadership is a relationship, and all relationships are fueled by emotions. They run strong, or run out, depending on how intelligent leaders are at reading and managing those emotions. EQ and Leadership in Asia is an amazingly clear and engaging portrait of what emotional intelligence means and how leaders can use it to inspire others to greatness. Sebastien Henry has given us the rare gift of a wonderfully accessible book, full of real-life examples and insightful practice sessions, as well as culturally relevant applications of this immensely important message. Don't just read this book. Put it to work. Use it. EQ and Leadership in Asia is essential reading for every leader who resides or does business in Asia. It is certain to change the way you relate to others, and how they relate to you." —Jim Kouzes, Deans Executive Fellow of Leadership, Leavey School of Business, Santa Clara University, Co-author, The Leadership Challenge "This terrific new book by Sebastian Henry provides those of us interested in Asian business with a very valuable contribution to the literature. First, it provides an easy to understand review of the importance of emotional intelligence to business. Second, it very nicely applies this understanding specifically to business leadership in Asia.

Anyone who works in Asia, leader or not, as well as anyone simply interested in business practice in Asia, will enjoy this delightful volume." —Frank T.
