101 Ways to Grow an Awesome and Resilient Team Using Emotional Intelligence
— Dr. Pat Baxter, Author
Let’s face it: The primary challenge facing twenty-first century leaders is not competition, globalization, or a constant change in technology. The challenge is that of managing emotions in the face of such pressures. These emotions can cloud our judgment, skew our otherwise rational minds, and cause our ‘emotional thermostats’ to rise and fall, often without warning.
Meanwhile, leaders with their own emotional thresholds, do their best to lead teams in organizations that grow increasingly confused and angered with their conflicting priorities.
‘Cool Change’ is a practical guide to understanding why emotions matter more than ever in the 21st century organization. With research-based examples, guides and the stories from real leaders, you can gain insights on how emotions can be used to drive the trust, loyalty, productivity and innovation needed to succeed.

‘Cool Change’ explains how we are not entirely at the mercy of our emotions. Rather, it explains how being aware of my feelings and using certain tools and approaches, can use emotions to support and motivate myself and others. What was very reassuring to learn was that when, as the author says, ‘You lose it’, there are ways to regain your balance, power and poise.

As a millennial about to enter the workforce, I will keep this book handy to remind me, when I feel anger, sadness, or other strong emotion, what is really happening in my brain and how to, at least, slow down my negative reactions and find a more positive way out of the situation. It was very reassuring to read real stories about how the author and other leaders learned to literally use their heads rather than lose it when in tough spots.
