In his sixth business book, bestselling author, entrepreneur, and
investor Gary Vaynerchuk explores the twelve essential emotional
skills that are integral to his life and business success and
provides today's (and tomorrow's) leaders with critical tools to
acquire and develop these traits.
For decades, leaders have relied on hard skills to make smart
decisions, while dismissing the importance of emotional
intelligence. Soft skills like self-awareness and curiosity
aren't quantifiable they can't be measured on a spreadsheet and
aren't taught in B-schools or emphasized in institutions. We've
been taught that emotional intelligence is a nice to have in
business, not a requirement.
Gary's secret to success is using these twelve traits in varying
mixtures, depending on the situation.
