Book: Epowerment: Achieving Empowerment in the E World

 Dr. Izzy Justice (Author) and Marshall Goldsmith (Foreward)

Overview: Using Emotional Intelligence to empower and drive business results

Dr. Justice breaks new ground by blending the intrinsic (emotional intelligence) with the extrinsic (digital world) to produce Epowerment- a powerful roadmap for achieving empowerment.
In EPowerment, author Dr. Izzy Justice explores empowerment in the context of the changing world and provides a powerful and simple roadmap to achieving empowerment. A collage of researched data, case studies, and interviews from more than forty organizations and leaders from all over the world, EPowerment explores why the present generations are more capable of reaching their potential than any other in history. It introduces the new business term EPowerment-an amalgam of empowerment, high emotional intelligence (EQ), and harnessing the power of the E World. It underscores how collective human knowledge is becoming easier to access and details how it will become freely available. EPowerment shows how, in this decade, managers or leaders need not reinvent the wheel, duplicate mistakes, or not leverage lessons learned. Empowerment should be the top priority of all organizations because managers can access new people, new communities of people, and infinite resources of knowledge to make better decisions-the centerpiece of high performance-in truly unprecedented ways.
