Daniel Goleman (1946 – ) is an author and psychologist who wrote for the New York Times for 12 years. He popularized emotional intelligence from Howard Gardner’s work in the late 1990s, on the heels of studies conducted by Peter Salovely and Jack Mayer at Columbia University.
His model contains the four elements of self-awareness self-management, social awareness, and relationship management. According to Fred Kiel, Goleman’s work made it OK for senior business leaders to talk about soft areas and their impact on performance.
Coaches working in the business world have been using emotional intelligence in their practices for since the mid-1990s. There are certifications for coaches in this specialty area as well as coaching books containing models based on the principles of emotional intelligence.
In 2006, Goleman published Social Intelligence which focused on human relationships.
