"Leadership is a relationship, and all relationships are fueled by emotions. They run strong, or run out, depending on how intelligent leaders are at reading and managing those emotions. EQ and Leadership in Asia is an amazingly clear and engaging portrait of what emotional intelligence means and how leaders can use it to inspire others to greatness. Sebastien Henry has given us the rare gift of a wonderfully accessible book, full of real-life examples and insightful practice sessions, as well as culturally relevant applications of this immensely important message. Don't just read this book. Put it to work. Use it. EQ and Leadership in Asia is essential reading for every leader who resides or does business in Asia. It is certain to change the way you relate to others, and how they relate to you."
