His book Emotional Intelligence has been translated into 40 languages globally, was celebrated by TIME magazine as one of the top 25 most pivotal books in the realm of business management. In Goleman's Book Focus: The Hidden Driver of Excellence he discusses the secret to success, and how mindfulness allows us to concentrate on what’s important. Goleman explains that high achievers of mindfulness have mastered a "triple-focus," which encompasses three distinct types of attention: "inner," "other," and "outer." "Inner" focus is about self-awareness, "other" focus pertains to empathy, and "outer" focus involves an understanding of our surroundings. Goleman emphasizes that for business leaders, the practice of mindfulness is especially critical. The essence of leadership depends on the successful steering of the collective focus. This requires not only monitoring external developments relative to the organization but also engaging and guiding the focus of individuals both within and beyond the company's boundaries.
