In The Power of Emotions at Work, Karla McLaren very clearly asserts that organizations and leaders must also embrace and practice the skills of emotional intelligence in order to provide an environment of mental health and wellness in which individuals who hone those skills may truly thrive.
Although providing training to individuals is vital to creating an emotionally intelligent organization, it is not enough. The structure and culture of the organization must be able to adopt and fully support those skills and the advanced behaviors that result. This book offers common-sense strategies to develop "emotionally well-regulated" social (i.e. organizational) structures.
Although this has always been implied, efforts in the past often held employees accountable, not organizations.
The Power of Emotions at Work, is truly a book whose time has come!

Incredibly Leftist HR book with some good points!
This is an incredibly leftist HR book however I found value in it. She mentioned that performance reviews were derogatory to performance and encourages boss pleasing and narcissism and over competitiveness. I was open to those studies. If there are better ways to measure performance I’m all for it. I don’t need to be tied to what people have done in the past.When she talked about her Marxist views on DEI and blatant praise of Socialism, etc, I just ignored it because a lot of it was not based in fact and is just one perspective. Respectfully, author should be aware that political views are her own, and may not reflect reality or the full picture, and often news reports stories with an agenda and do not incorporate all points of view, which are valid. for the reader: You don’t have to believe everything in a book to get value from it. You can take what works for you and leave the rest.When she talked about most companies not having effective “repair stations” for workers to have adequate rest and privacy, I thought it was a strong point.The thing I liked most about the book was how she called open spaces “the devils floor plan” because from my perspective, that’s 💯 true, although most companies nowadays have them. They provide too much distraction and lack of privacy and rest and actually decrease face to face collaboration (an increase in communication by email and text proves this).I greatly agree that open space environments are the devils floor plan. After moving into a single office room that I have to share with 2 other people, I can say that it will be very hard for me to go back to that demonic open space environment, especially as a highly sensitive introvert, because the amount of emotional stress it has on people is overwhelming.You have to live the life you love.
