Learn how to take risks, thrive and build your dream career.
'Sukhinder is one of Silicon Valley's most well-respected leaders.
Her unique style of authenticity, optimism and hustle will help
anyone unlock their career potential' - Eric Schmidt, former
chairman & CEO, Google Each one of us dreams of possibility -
in our careers and in our personal lives. But our pursuit of
possibility is hamstrung by 'The Myth of the Single Choice' that
has led us to believe that one large choice stands between us and
success, and that a single failure may topple us should we choose
'wrongly'. We let fear trump possibility: we become paralyzed.
Sukhinder Singh Cassidy is one of the most well-respected leaders
in Silicon Valley, but her path to success has been far from
linear. While she has started three companies including
theBoardlist, and has served as president of StubHub, she's also
encountered failed choices, misfires, and all other types of
pitfalls that she had to learn how to overcome and incorporate into
her new path forward. Drawing on her own experience and those of
other leaders, Sukhinder shows that when people thrive, it's
because their fear of missing out on an opportunity overtakes their
fear of failure, and compels them to take action. Better yet, they
keep acting, building a fundamental risk-taking muscle that under
weighs the importance of any single choice in favour of continually
'choosing'. Choose Possibility is a thrilling and insightful new
way to approach risk-taking and achieve lasting success. 'An
excellent guide to help anyone learn how to take risks in their own
careers and thrive' - Kai-Fu Lee, chairman & CEO, Sinovation
Ventures and author of bestseller AI Superpowers
As organizations shift to depend more on team-based structures, the
pressure to develop high-performing teams is more critical than
ever. In the modern work environment, teams are expected to embrace
change, navigate complexity, and collaborate well under pressure
all while delivering exceptional results and forming productive
relationships. While it is crucial to have talented, bright people
within a team, there is a dynamic that is even more essential to
overall team effectiveness. This dynamic is "Team Emotional
Intelligence" (Team EQ). While most people are familiar with
emotional intelligence (EQ) when it comes to individuals, the power
of how EQ relates to the entire team has not been well-understood
until now. Insights from the latest research on team emotional
intelligence and TalentSmartEQ's research trends from working with
over 200 teams (with 2000+ team members) combine to bring EQ
know-how to the team level. Team Emotional Intelligence 2.0
delivers practical strategies and showcases how an emotionally
intelligent team is far more than the sum of its parts. This book
focuses on the four key skill areas of Team EQ: Team Emotion
Awareness, Team Emotion Management, Internal Team Relationships,
and External Team Relationships, and it delivers 53 strategies and
a step-by-step process for increasing team EQ skills so team
leaders and anyone who's a member of a team can achieve peak
performance and reach their goals. Dr. Greaves, Evan Watkins, and
their contributing team of experts begin with a life and death
story of team failure that illustrates how emotions can drive team
decisions and lead to disaster. They share a proven approach to
helping teams understand Team EQ skills, build these skills into
strengths, and use them to sustain positive momentum and achieve
peak performance. Strategies for remote and hybrid teams working
virtually offer targeted approaches to bonding, communicating,
tough conversations, and decision making as modern workplaces
transform. Like she did with the best-selling Emotional
Intelligence 2.0 (at 2 million copies sold and counting), Dr.
Greaves and her team take complex concepts and translate them into
easy-to-understand skills that can be used immediately and
developed further over time. As organizations increasingly rely on
getting work done through teams, the understanding and development
of team EQ skills is more relevant and impactful than ever.
