Many times the books on leadership focused on systems, management, etc., not taking into account the complex (and powerful!) system of our emotions. Josh Freedman integrate much of the new neuroscience with a comprehensive look and analysis of how people can make successful change by honoring the people involved, integrating emotional intelligence skills, in conjunction with keen business sense.
There is so much to offer in this book, it is like reading an"Operational Manual" in each chapter. This is a must read for those who are looking for ways to change, starting from the inside!

The research says it takes around six seconds for those molecules of emotion to get absorbed back into your body after you've had a reaction. For someone to recognize the feeling of compassion -- and it was around six seconds.
Thus, Joshua Freedman's organization was named "Six Seconds"
It takes six seconds to manage anger.
It takes six seconds to create compassion.
It takes six seconds to change the world.
There is science behind the name and the flood that is triggered, delivered, and absorbed in about six seconds of even emotion. Understanding Emotional Intelligence in Six Seconds.

New US Air Force Study: EQ to Save $190 Million
In 2007, the US Air Force began to explore the possibility of applying emotional intelligence (EI) to predict performance in training programs for pilots, air traffic controllers and pararescue jumpers (“PJs” — who’s mission is to rescue downed aircrew). The PJ program was one of their top priorities. This training program takes nearly two years to complete and includes many hours of combat training, parachuting, diving, paramedical instruction as well as extensive air rescue and evacuation preparation. The total cost of completing the training is estimated at $250,000 per trainee.
The Air Force’s aim was to apply the Bar-On EQ-i to assess EI and identify those PJ trainees who have the best chance of successfully completing this highly specialized military course. All of the trainees who began the 2008 course completed the Bar-On EQ-i, and the results of those who successfully completed the program were compared with those who did not complete it.

The results revealed that EI has a significant impact on performance among PJ trainees and is capable of predicting who will be expected to successfully complete this course. The findings indicate that candidates with five key emotional intelligence qualities have the best chance of successfully completing this extremely demanding course, namely:
(a) have good self-awareness and understand their weaknesses as well as their strengths,

(b) can effectively validate their feelings and keep things in correct perspective,
(c) are flexible and adaptive,
(d) are optimistic and
(e) positive
The results confirm previous research findings indicating that EI significantly impacts occupational performance. By applying the EI model that emerged, the Air Force estimates that it will save approximately $190,000,000 by significantly reducing mismatches and selecting the right people for the course over time.
This Program was developed by the Just Wait Foundation a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit corporation to prevent drug, alcohol, and tobacco problems among teenagers. The Foundation provides one-year scholarships (two semesters) at a Community College or $1000 award to teens that completes the 4 year Just Wait Teen™ Positive Youth Development Program, obtains a GED, or graduates from high school - alcohol, tobacco, and drug free. The Just Wait Foundation has arranged to use of 80 acres to raise fruit and vegetables to finance the scholarships
