Overview
It analyses how human behaviour is conditioned within corporate cultures, how managers come to adopt unconscious controlling habits that are counter-productive and which create cultures of fear. It shows how through the art of coaching and mentoring, breaking habits and personal development, transformational leadership within teams can result and, through theory and practise, shows us how to lead when managing people in the business environment.
Unique to this leadership coaching book is the introduction of the Corporapath- the Corporate Hostage and to the anxiety disorder CTSD - Corporate Traumatic Stress Disorder, yielding a profound new level of self-awareness for all corporate citizens. Success now requires a different kind of business intelligence: IQ + EQ is no longer sufficient. We now need CEQ - Corporate Emotional Intelligence - the ability to read, understand and manage the psychological states and behaviours that are unique to corporate cultures and emotionally intelligent leadership.
