Leading with Insight
summary
Claims that emotional intelligence is the key to effective leadership get backed by specifics: a 2011 Harvard study finds minds wander 46.9% of waking time and focusing raises happiness; Anton Lutz shows focused-breath training builds stress resilience; David Eagleman (2015) shows single-word labels blunt empathetic neural responses. Practices drawn from Search Inside Yourself and Google research are taught: a 2-minute breath reset, a three-breath insight to choose priorities, similarity priming to override bias, and mindful listening to build trust and psychological safety.
