Perspectives from Peter
Drucker and Daniel Goleman
"Your foremost job as
a leader ... is to take charge of your own energy and then help orchestrate
the energy of those around you."
"In any human
group the leader has maximal power to sway everyone's emotions ...The
effects of primal leadership extend beyond ensuring that a job is well done.
Followers also look to a leader for supportive emotional connection - for
empathy."

Effective Leader, cited in Orioli (2000); Goleman, Boyatzis, & McKee (2002,
p. 5)
"Emotion
is present in the workplace. Everyday, everywhere. Emotion is energy.
Learning to harness this energy and use it to impact the reasoning side of
the business in a positive way is one of the great untapped resources yet to
be conquered" Adele Lynne |
