Respond: Individual Video: Record a video under 2 minutes reflecting on the book. (You can just press record from within the Moodle forum with your computer or with your phone. Or you can record a video on your phone and then upload it. It is okay to have disfluencies like uh, um, restarted sentences. What I mean is that you do not need to write out a script for your presentation and read it or memorize it. Have some notes or points you want to say and then share them with us. I do want the video to be under 2 minutes).
"A radical, but not inaccurate, appraisal of the field would be that there is no evidence for the validity of Emotional Intelligence and there never will be because there is no such thing as EI." - Peter Harms, Marcus Credé, & Dustin Wood, December 2022.

Suffer Now… Don’t get me wrong, I hate training. Hate it. But I know what I am after—the top podium—and that keeps me going. I do the work because I know what could be mine. I take comfort in knowing I am not alone. Muhammad Ali once said, “I hated every minute of training, but I said, ’Don’t quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.’ ”
Politics isn’t witchcraft. Politics is made by people, people with their influences, their experiences, vanities, weaknesses, strengths, desires, dreams, convictions, values, and interests. People who need to fight for majorities in a democracy if they want to make things happen. We can do this—Wir schaffen das. Throughout the whole of my political career, no phrase has been thrown back at me with quite such virulence as this one. No phrase has been so polarizing. For me, however, it was quite an ordinary phrase. It expressed an attitude. Call it trust in God, caution, or simply a determination to solve problems, to deal with setbacks, get over the lows and come up with new ideas. “We can do this, and if something stands in our way it has to be overcome, it has to be worked on.” That was how I put it in my summer press conference on August 31, 2015. That was how I did politics. It’s how I live. It’s also how this book came about. With this attitude, which is also something learned, everything is possible, because it isn’t only politics that contributes to it—every individual person has a part to play. Angela Merkel With Beate Baumann Berlin, August 2024
The 7 rules are: 1) Get out of your own way. 2) Break the rules. 3) Show up in powerful fashion. 4) Create a powerful brand. 5) Network relentlessly. 6) Use your power. 7) Understand that once you have acquired power, what you did to get it will be forgiven, forgotten, or both.
