Gareth Chick's second book, And the Leader Is... is a comprehensive and practical guide in how to lead effectively with heightened Corporate Emotional Intelligence (CEQ). Drawing on his 40 year experience of every aspect of the Corporate World, from CEO to Coach; from manager to trainer, Gareth Chick covers the fundamental management and leadership competencies of coaching, high performance teams, authentic leadership and transformational change. In his first book Corporate Emotional Intelligence, Gareth provided a compelling analysis of Corporate Psychology; giving us a profound new understanding of how working in the Corporate World causes thoroughly decent human beings to behave in unnatural and inhuman ways. The book concluded by outlining the 4 Pillars of Corporate Emotional Intelligence (CEQ), equipping us with strategies to raise our personal leadership effectiveness. And the Leader Is... completes Gareth's personal corporate life mission to give hard pressed modern leaders and managers the practical competencies to be more effective, more fulfilled and more sustainable. While each of his two books stands on its own merits, the combination of the two forms arguably the most important work on corporate leadership since Dr Edwards Demings' writings of the late 20th Century. It is fitting therefore that the Foreword is written by Tony Barnes, the last surviving member of the Deming team that revolutionised Japanese business and manufacturing practices in the 1950s and 1960s.
