These competencies include personal competence and social competence. Personal

With the publication of Daniel Goleman’s book Emotional Intelligence in 1995, the business world got an answer to a question that had been plaguing it for decades: “Why did some people of a high IQ struggle at managing teams while other leaders of lower IQ excel at it”? Goleman asserted that the traditional measurement of IQ (intelligence quotient) was not enough to determine a good leader. Schools and universities concentrated on developing the cognitive and analytical part of the brain, while the teaching of how the emotional side of the brain worked was ignored.

Emotional intelligence (EQ) is the ability to manage emotions of yourself or others. It is very useful in any situations and having a lot of it is very good but there is a dark side. That is because EQ is like a double-edged sword. For instance, a person is crying and someone comes over and helps. The person that came is able to recognize and determine what to do. Furthermore, during an interview with Dan Goleman, “Godfather of Emotional Intelligence”, there was a highschool reunion and out of the group the most successful man wasn’t the smartest but the best one that

Salovey and Mayer says the emotional intelligence is a label for skills that include awareness of self and others and the ability to handle emotions and relationships (Bolman and Deal, 2013 p. 171).

Emotional intelligence was described formally by (Salovey & Mayer). They defined it as ‘the ability to monitor one’s own and others’ feelings and emotions, to discriminate among them and to use this information to guide one’s thinking and actions’. They also provided an initial empirical demonstration of how an aspect of emotional

The term emotional intelligence was first used by Wayne Payne in 1985. Origins of concept of emotional intelligence lie in writings of Edward Thorndike (1920) who used the term social intelligence to describe the extent of one’s ability to relate to other people. Mayer and Salovey (1993) defined emotional intelligence as the ability to perceive emotion, integrate emotion to facilitate thought, understand emotions and to regulate emotions to promote personal growth. Daniel Goleman, who is credited for popularizing the concept in his book Emotional Intelligence in 1995. He gave hierarchical model proposes five emotional competencies: (1) the ability to identify and name one’s emotional states and to understand the link between emotions, thought

Second, to examine, the concept of “emotional quotient” compared to traditional “intelligence quotient.” Third to suggest two to three (2-3) reasons why leaders’ need emotional intelligence to manage today’s workforce, as well as to speculate on at least two (2) possible consequences should a leader not possess emotional intelligence.

Emotional Intelligence is defined as a ‘type of social intelligence that involves the ability to monitor one’s own and other’s emotions, to discriminate among them and to use the information to guide one’s thinking and actions’ (Salovey and Mayer, 1990: 189). According to Goleman (2001), ‘emotional intelligence comprises of 4 key components which are, Self

With the lack of research dedicated to emotive leaders, the definition of this theory is linked to emotional intelligence, and behaviour, influence, and relational theories. R. D. & Salovey .P. (2014), argue that emotional intelligence has four main components. These are reading people, which utilizes skills in identifying emotions and being able to express emotions logically; getting in the mood, which uses emotion constructively, allowing emotions to influence thought and matching emotion to the task; predicting the future emotion, which involves conducting a ‘what-if’ analysis; and doing it with feeling, managing emotions, staying open to emotion and integrating emotions into

The book “Working with Emotional Intelligence” by Daniel Goleman deals with the emotional assets and liabilities of individuals in organizations. Emotional intelligence is traits that go beyond academic achievement or IQ. As a matter of fact he points out that high academic intelligence can sometimes stand in the way of emotional intelligence. Broadly speaking, emotional intelligence determines how well we handle difficult situation, which cannot be solved by logic, but more by a “feel” for the situation. These attributes are very hard to measure, which is why many standardized tests, whether academic or for employment, fail to measure these attributes, even though these are the one which determine

Goleman states, “Emotional aptitude is a meta ability, determining how well we can use whatever other skills we have, including raw intellect.” People that have high emotional intelligence are more likely to be satisfied and effective in their lives. Others who have trouble with this cannot manage themselves so their ability for successful work and clear thought are altered.

As a member of Greek life on Sonoma State’s campus, I have been exposed to countless forms of leadership. Within each organization, strong committees and leaders play great roles in furthering their interests and values. As a result of participating in my organization, I was introduced to the incredible leader that is my chapter’s current President, Sam. Day in and day out, this young woman works to support our organization and does so by utilizing her incredibly developed emotional intelligence. As defined by Bruno (2008), “emotional intelligence is the ability to read people as well as we read books” and respond to that information accordingly (p. 18). She practices this intelligence with every member of the chapter, finding the best method to respond and act.
