    When considering emotional intelligence in the context of leadership, emotional intelligence represents the “people skills” held by effective leaders (Riggio et al.). In understanding why emotional intelligence is critical to effective leadership, one study suggested that this is because “leaders need to understand their own emotions and the emotions of followers in order to encourage and motivate others and to encourage follower creativity. In addition, the quality of leader and follower relationships is dependent on leader emotional intelligence” (qtd. in Riggio et al.) Leaders with high emotional intelligence understand that leadership is about building people up and supporting them. By creating an inspiring environment, effective leaders encourage employees to achieve their goals. High emotional intelligence also helps leaders to regulate their emotions, which is essential when handling stressful situations. Assertive leaders use emotional intelligence to put thought behind their actions, and they understand the consequences of their behavior on others. They use their high emotional intelligence to satisfy their own needs and the needs of their employees while maintaining respect, and do not put other people down in the name of organizational

  • The Importance Of Emotional Intelligence In Leadership

    1585 Words  | 4 Pages

    Emotions are frequent companions in our lives. They come and go, and constantly change like the weather. They generate powerful chemicals that create positive and negative feelings, which have a powerful effect on leadership. Some emotions can either facilitate leadership, while others can detract from successful leadership. This course, Emotionally Intelligent Leadership, has truly opened my eyes to the affects that emotions have on being an effective leader. Peter Salovey and John Mayer defined emotional intelligence as “the ability to monitor one’s own and other’s feelings and emotions to use the information to guide one’s thinking and actions” (p. 5). This definition in itself states that emotions, whether it be ones own emotions or those of others, is the underlying factor that directs the actions of a leader. Therefore, throughout the progression (advancement) of this course, I have learned the importance of the development of emotional intelligence for being an effective leader, and because of this I plan on developing the capacities that contribute to being an emotionally intelligent leader for my own success, now and in the future.

    (2013) separated emotional intelligence into four domains, self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management (pp. 30, 38). These domains are then broken into two competencies. Self-awareness, the understanding of one 's emotions and being clear about one 's purpose, and self-management, the focused drive and emotional self-control, make up the personal competence (pp. 39, 45-46). While social awareness, or empathy and service, and relationship management, the handling of other people 's emotions, make up the social competence (pp. 39, 48, 51). These emotional intelligence competencies are not innate talents, but learned abilities, each of which contribute to making leaders more resonant and effective (p. 38). This is good news for me because I still have much to develop in regards to emotional
