I scored an eight in Self Awareness, eight in Relationship Management, and tens in both Self-Management and Social Awareness. From these results, I conclude that I need to learn more about my own emotions and develop confidence, so that I may then become a confident leader who can help others. These two quadrants of Self Awareness and Relationship Management work together, so these results make sense. For example, if I had to lead a department in an organization, and hid in my office everyday because I didn’t like public speaking, then I wouldn’t be a very effective leader. However, if I held daily morning meetings with my department, set forth the day’s goals, resolved conflicts, and gave motivational incentives to my employees, then my chances of being an effective leader are drastically…
Emotional intelligence involves, being aware of our emotions and regulate our own emotional responses (Mayer & Salovey, as cited by Aquino, 2009). The leading of emotional intelligence believe that adaptive advantages of emotional skills are important in academic success with their careers, regulate more of their own behaviors, and provide for greater responsibility and work harder to accomplish their goals (Aquino, 2009).…
The video, "Leadership Tutorial: What is Emotional Intelligence" explains the power of Emotional Intelligence (EQ). EQ is the ability to understand ourselves and others and is the skills that effectively we can manage our own emotions and effectively manage ourselves, situations, and human relationships. EQ is much more important than IQ comes to human relationship. EQ requires life experiences, training, and maturity in order to develop; in addition, we really need to pay attention ourselves in order to strengthen EQ. Unfortunately, there are some people who have really high IQ yet do not have high EQ; if you have a manager or supervisor who does not have high EQ, your work place might not be a great place. The successful leaders have a higher…

Emotional Intelligence is the ability to perceive and express emotion, assimilate emotion in thought, understand, and reason with emotion, and regulate in self and others. It provides the bedrock for the development of a large number of competences that helps people perform more effectively. There are four domains of Emotional Intelligence and they are Self-Awareness, Self-Management, Social Awareness, and Relationship Management; within these domains they have 18 competences (Cherniss & Goleman, 2001). This paper will provide an self-assessment review of emotional intelligence theory based on my experiences, present understanding, and future goals; using the four domains of emotional intelligence and all 18 competencies to research, analyze, synthesize, and report my current strengths and weaknesses.…
Emotional intelligence is defined in our book as "the composite set of capabilities that enable a person to manage himself or herself and others" (Goleman, 1995, 1998)…
Emotional Intelligence (EI) is the ability to recognize one’s own emotions and those of others and to analyze these emotions to guide one’s personal thinking and actions. Previous research indicates that people are more effective at their jobs when they have a good understanding of emotions. EI is divided into five categories; self-awareness, self-management, self-motivation, empathy, and social skills. Understanding one’s own EI provides insight into one’s management abilities including: leadership, individual performance, group performance, interpersonal/social exchange, managing change, and conducting performance evaluations (“Emotions and emotional intelligence“, 1996). This papers focus is the cumulative analysis of my own EI (also known as social intelligence) and the interactions that may occur in my University of Phoenix team.…

Emotional Intelligence is expanded into five main domains which expands it definition for a clearer understanding. The first is knowing one’s emotion, which describes self-awareness of recognizing a feeling as it happens. It is the keystone of emotional intelligence. Having the abilities to monitor your feelings from one minute to the next is crucial to your psychological insights of understanding yourself. The second is managing your emotions, which is self management. This means handing feelings so they are appropriate in an ability that builds on your self-awareness. The third is motivating yourself, which is control yourself in the face of adversity and continue toward attaining your personal goals. The fourth is recognizing emotions in other people around you.

Leadership is not all about using the authority entrusted to prove who the greater authority is. A leader should be a source of motivation to inspire others to desire to achieve the set goals. This can only be satisfactorily achieved once the crucial issue of interpersonal communication becomes enhanced. The relation between involved parties needs to be at its optimum, and this can only be aided by enhancing communication. Emotional intelligence is also a key factor especially in these present times where qualifications are met by a majority, while only a small percentage are high in emotional intelligence There is, therefore, a need to focus on developing stronger communication skills (Guillen Florent-Treacy, 2011, p.22).This paper will strive to show that emotional intelligence can produce different results even when the parties involved are performing similar tasks. Citing the example of two teachers who have both instructed me in anatomy and physiology at different times (at the beginning of my course and after my return to school from a period of absence) it is easy to demonstrate how communication and emotional intelligence affect leadership skills. Emotional intelligence can broadly be defined as an individuals ability to keep their emotions in check, recognize various emotions in others and use that in directing their thought and actions.My first teacher was an individual who oozed of a great deal of confidence upon entry into the classroom. Emotions should always be in constant check because of the phenomenon of emotion contagion. The first step to maintaining a high level of confidence at all times is getting to the point of self-awareness (Nordstrm, 2010, p.18). Self-awareness becomes realized by understanding and dealing with all manner of emotions. This helps to have a clear mindset when carrying out assigned tasks and helps to avoid passing sound judgment. My first teacher was high in self-awareness and, therefore, had no emotional distractions…
