While his reputation in giving and taking criticism was becoming prominent, Dr. Weisinger was developing a second expertise and one, like giving and taking criticism, that is crucial to individual and organizational effectiveness: anger management.
Long before it was a movie, Dr. Weisinger was integrating cognitive psychology, behaviorism, and interpersonal psychology to formulate the blueprint for the majority of anger management programs.
He became one of the first psychologists to provide training in the subject to the mental health community so it is not surprising that he has spoken to dozens of mental health organizations, hospitals, and school systems.
Dr. Weisinger appears on The Today Show frequently for their Anger Management Special, as well an appearance on Oprah.
As with giving and taking criticism, Dr. Weisinger applied his knowledge to the working world, the result being Anger at Work, and according to The Library Congress: “Highly Recommended to managers at all levels.”
Dr. Weisinger a world expert in the area of Emotional Intelligence, a subject that he would lecture on at numerous business schools, including NYU, MIT, Penn State, University of Washington, Cornell, and Wharton.
His signature lecture on the subject, Emotional Intelligence at Work is considered to be the best program on applying emotional intelligence and can be found on seven continents.
Working with Merrill Lynch, Bank America, Wachovia, Morgan Stanly, Smith Barney, H&R Block, and numerous other financial service companies and making numerous presentations for the Security Industry Association, Dr. Weisinger became armed with the knowledge to write The Emotionally Intelligent Financial Advisor, a book on Emotional Intelligence to be customized to a specific industry, and is now doing the same for the Nursing profession and Project Management profession.
His article, “Tutored by Television” for TV Guide illustrates how parents can use television to develop the emotional intelligence of their children.
Always looking for innovative perspectives on human behavior, Dr. Weisinger turned his interest to the evolutionary sciences, particularly evolutionary psychology. His studies in the field that is now called, ‘the new science of the mind,” took him down a path that, when mixed with clinical expertise, provided startling new thoughts and strategies for handling everyday dilemmas that we all encounter at home and at work.
His findings and observations are the subject of his most current work, The Genius of Instinct: Reclaim Mother Nature’s Tools for Enhancing our Health, Happiness, Family and Work. This subject presents many revelations including the fact that we are hardwired for success, man is more successful than animals because we have more instincts not less, and ruled by reason rather than instinct typically spells disaster.
This evolutionary perspective has also helped Dr. Weisinger generate novel insights into leadership, marriage, parenting, and work.
