Bookish Mind – Season 05, Episode 20
In this powerful episode, we break down Chapter 20 of Focus by Daniel Goleman, titled “What Makes a Leader?”

🎯 Key Insight: Intelligence and academic credentials may get you in the door—but they’re not what make you excel as a leader.

Based on David McClelland’s research, this episode reveals how emotional intelligence (EQ)—not IQ—is the true driver of leadership success. We explore the triple focus every leader needs:

• 🔍 Inner Focus: Self-awareness & discipline

• ❤️ Other Focus: Empathy & relationship management

• 🌐 Outer Focus: Systems thinking & big-picture awareness

🔥 You’ll learn:

• Why “soft skills” are the hard core of effective leadership

• What emotional aperture means in group dynamics

• How great leaders build safe, high-performing teams

• How attention shapes trust, motivation, and results

If you're ready to lead with heart, vision, and strategy—this episode is for you.
