Abstract

The opening chapter introduces the purpose of leadership as moving the world. It is not about the leader, or the leader’s organization, but about making a positive change in the world. The power and potential along with the danger and horror of leadership is considered. A formula for work and leadership is proposed and Archimedes’ principle of the lever is introduced as a central organizing metaphor for the book and each part of the metaphor is explained along with the six basic assumptions of the book. These assumptions include the need for clear definitions, clear purpose, the importance of a leadership mindset, everyone taking on the call of leadership, and the critical need for leveraged leadership power to produce high performance.

Emotionally intelligent people are defined in part as those who regulate their emotions according to a logically consistent model of emotional functioning. We indentify and compare several models of emotion regulation; for example, one internally consistent model includes tenets such as “happiness should be optimized over the lifetime.” Next, we apply that internally consistent model to the way a person can intervene in mood construction and regulation at non-, low-, and high-conscious levels of experience. Research related to the construction and regulation of emotion at each of these levels is reviewed. Finally, we connect our concept of emotionally intelligent regulation to its potential applications to personality and clinical psychology.
