Emotional Intelligence For the longest time, people believed that book smarts were the key to success. They'd throw themselves into books and ignore other areas of their lives. This resulted in masses with high IQ but poor social skills. The high IQ fellas must have sensed that something was wrong with them. At that point, it was clear that success wasn't influenced by your capacity to cram books alone. You need to be able to connect with other human beings, and one of the ways to develop this skill was through the acquisition of emotional intelligence. Thankfully, emotional intelligence isn't an innate trait. This means that anyone that wills may develop this skill and improve their capacity to connect with other human beings. This book delves into the subject of emotional intelligence and explores the techniques that people may utilize to develop various aspects of emotional intelligence. Empath While many people understand what showing empathy means, few understand what it means to be empathic. In fact, there are many people who go their entire lives with this ability without knowing what it is called or why they seem different from everyone else. When you are an empath you are highly affected by the emotions and thoughts of others. People don't even have to say a word, the only have to be in the same room as you, for you to pick up on their emotions and energies. Whether their emotions are positive or negative, empaths have a distinct ability to pick up on it. Frequently, empaths even feel these emotions as if they were their own. Self-Discipline How do you get where you're going from day to day? Is your life a smoothly paved highway where you get everything done on time, you are the person you have always wanted to be with the perfect career, house, body, and bank account? Would you be reading this book if that were true for you? The reason you are here is that you are looking for help to become a more self-disciplined person in need of some strength, encouragement and helpful tools and guidelines to help you reach your goals and create the life of your dreams.

The prize-winning book Organizational Intelligence focuses on the structural and ideological roots of intelligence (informational and analytical) failures in government, industry, and other institutions. It provides groundbreaking theory and structure to the analysis of decision-making processes and their breakdowns, as well as the interactions among experts and the organizations they inform. In this book, both "organization" and "intelligence" are taken to their larger meanings, not just focused on the military meaning of intelligence or on one set of institutions in society. Astute illustrations of intelligence failures abound from real-world cases, such as foreign policy (the Bay of Pigs, Soviet predictions in the Cuban missile crisis), military (civilian bombing of Germany, Pearl Harbor), financial (AmEx's investment in a vegetable oil guru), economics (the Council of Economic Advisers) and industrial production (Ford's Edsel), as well as many other telling arenas and disciplines. Economic, cultural, legal, and political contexts are considered, as well as the more known institutions of government and commerce. The new Classics of the Social Sciences edition from Quid Pro Books features a 2015 Foreword from Neil J. Smelser, University Professor Emeritus at Berkeley and former chair of its sociology department. He writes that the book remains "one of the classics in organizational studies, and—in ways I will indicate—it is still directly relevant to current and future problems of organizational life. ... What makes this book a classic? It is a disciplined, intelligent, and elegant model of applied social science. ... The text itself, richly documented empirically, yields an informed and balanced account of the decision-making process as this is shaped by the quality of information available (and unavailable) to and used (and not used) by organizational leaders." Reviews of the book at the time it was written similarly attest to the originality and breadth of its interdisciplinary analysis. Amitai Etzioni wrote in the American Sociological Review: "This book opens a whole new field — the macrosociology of knowledge. It is as different from the traditional sociology of knowledge as the study of interaction is from that of the structure of total societies." He adds, "The power of Wilensky's contribution is further magnified by his historical perspective. He studies structures and processes, but not in a vacuum." Gordon Craig wrote in The Reporter that the book's examples from organizations "show a similar tendency to believe what they want to believe, to become the victims of their own slogans and propaganda, and to resist or to silence warning voices that challenge their assumptions.... In his fascinating analysis of intelligence failures and their causes ... in the public and private sectors, Wilensky finds that the most disastrous miscalculations are those which have occurred in the field of governmental operations, especially foreign policy and national security." The book explains how such highly institutionalized actors are vulnerable to informational pathologies. The new digital edition features active Contents, a fully linked Index, linked notes, and proper ebook formatting. It is a modern, quality, and authorized re-presentation of a classic work in social science and organizational studies.
