O paradoxo é que ambos importam, mas de formas bem diferentes", afirma Goleman em Liderança, uma compilação de textos que escreveu para a Harvard Business Review e outras publicações de negócios.

Nesse sentido, suas contribuições intelectuais estão diretamente relacionadas à sua vida, marcada por experiências terríveis, mas também por amor, exílio e saudade.

But even a maverick plays by rules, and Trump has formulated time-tested guidelines for success.
