Dr. Rowitz’ has a marvelous capacity for explaining complex concepts in exceedingly well-written language. He dedicates an entire chapter on Emotional Intelligence discussing a few EQ frameworks place out by writers over the past decade – (Goleman, Cooper and Sawaf, Feldman) explaining their thoughts and why they may be considered vital for a chief.
In the people skills/EQ chapter, Dr. Rowitz intersperes several exercises throughout on group work that may possibly easily be adapted by teams in industry, used by an individual as an introspection exercise, or ignored. I’ve read the chapter without doing the exercises and gotten more from it on EQ than reading 5 other books on the theme. He finishes with a summary of People Smart strategies (Kravitz and Schubert, 2000)- flexibility in communication, private stress management, show respect for others, etc.
This book is an absolute MUST for anyone in broadcast health. From the preface: “Broadcast health preparedness is all about the community; it is also about our quality of life. Broadcast health preparedness is about new partnerships and relationships. It is about building social capital and thus the capacity of our communities to carry out programs and initiatives that promote health, preclude diseases, and protect our residents from harm.”
