Our Founder Gareth Chick has published two books for business communication, management and organisational behaviour in the 21st Century, setting a new precedent for business leadership and management books. As part of our training package we also provide each participant with a signed copy of the second book, ‘And the Leader is…’
“Corporate Emotional Intelligence - Being Human in a Corporate World” - Gareth Chick
As part of the series Leadership and Executive Coaching, Corporate Emotional Intelligence is a seminal work for business communication, management and organisational behaviour in the 21st Century, setting a new precedent for business leadership and management books. 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.
“And The Leader Is… Transforming Cultures with CEQ” - Gareth Chick
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.
