Educational administrators in any capacity face
great challenges in the new millennium and the
Technology Age that did not previously exist. They
can find their job to be very stressful and even
overwhelming at times. By employing self-
understanding and empathy toward others, positive
changes for promoting academic achievement and a
stronger sense of school community can be achieved.
This keen sense of emotion, posited by Daniel
Goleman as "Emotional Intelligence" (EI), is
sometimes considered in the business and academic
field as even more important than Intelligence
Quotient (IQ). Therefore, this book provides
insight into the field of school leaders and how the
effects of Emotional Intelligence, not just degrees
and experience, may increase knowledgeable judgment
in making wiser decisions for collaborative teamwork
in visions of the future for our schools.
