The Competing Values Framework in Relation to High Performance Management
The purpose of the Competing Values Framework (CVF) is to facilitate the process of understanding the various management roles and how they can be applied more effectively in an environment of competing tensions. Each role is distinct and seemingly contradictory, but intertwining them is essential in order to achieve optimal efficiency; ultimately becoming a high performance manager. This “behavioral complexity"-the ability to deal with the competing demands through the mastery of seemingly contradictory or paradoxical roles differentiates the high performing managers from their counterparts (Hart & Quinn, 1993). In the process of becoming a high performance manager,

Tragedies and traumas, depending on how you frame them, can either result in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or post-traumatic growth (PTG). In my case, I had consciously chosen to embrace the experience resulting in PTG, which starts by recognizing the uncertainties in life and embracing them as fundamental tenets of human existence (George, 2015). This particular crucible has taught me that in life there may be instances that you cannot control similarly to business and leadership.
Self-Awareness
Psychologist Daniel Goleman, author of Emotional Intelligence outlines five areas essential to achieving a high level of emotional intelligence (EQ): self-awareness, self-regulation, social skill, empathy, and motivation (George, 2015). Possessing a high EQ is invaluable as it allows individuals to connect with others on an interpersonal and emotional level rather than in a strictly intellectual matter. However, EQ and IQ are not mutually exclusive, instead, it is essential for both to be joined together to achieve an optimal level of leadership. Leaders who lack EQ and lead only with their intellect tend to dismiss the opinions of others and dominate decision making (George, 2015). Such leaders have the tendency to surround themselves with subordinates who are complacent and submissive. As a result,

Leadership takes on many faces depending on the responsibilities and environments that are available (Rubino, Esparza & Chassiakos, 2014). However, some basic qualities are universal to all effective leaders. Emotional intelligence and conflict resolution skills form part of crucial leadership qualities (Parker, Sakfloske & Stough, 2009). Emotional intelligence, basically, refers to the ability of an individual to understand and interpret emotions effectively. The paper is based on a self-assessment on leadership qualities.
Emotional intelligence plays a very critical role in the overall quality of our personal and professional lives. In fact, many people feel that emotional intelligence (EQ) is more important than one’s intelligence quotient (IQ) when it comes to attaining success in their lives and careers.
Emotional Intelligence is the ability to understand and manage your own emotions and those of the people around you. To be a successful leader you must inquire the four EI competencies. Those competencies include; Self-awareness, social awareness, self-management, and relationship management.
When reviewing PTG (Post Traumatic Growth) people find meaningful life lessons a renewed appreciation for life and increased feeling of personal strength because of traumatic experiences. The characters that form Post Traumatic Stress Disorder positive outcome appear form traumatic experiences have been referred to PTG. Post Traumatic Growth has potential for growth and enhancement that may result from personal suffering. development growth is closely related to literature on resilience because both resilience and PTG both focus on human strength that challenges life events.

This report will conclude with proven information that, organisational value has a major role to play in an organisation and it’s very essential to have a quality values in every organisation. These values will help the organisation to accomplish its goal and carry forward their mission.
Another characteristic of Emotional intelligence (EI) consists of the abilities to be able to persist in the face of frustrations; mood and distress regulation in order to think; urge control and deferment of gratification; to empathize and to hope. Studies have shown that a person with EI show competency in different areas of their professional life like self-management and relationships, self-regulation, and motivation. Taking into consideration the slices that conforms a leader with high EI it is fair to say that these skills are not innate but teachable to those who want to be the best leader they can be. EI skills can be fortified via steady education and training.
Instead of measuring ones IQ (conventional intelligence) Goleman’s theory required administrators to look at the leader’s EQ (emotional intelligence) which measures behavioral and character elements of intelligence. ER believed that by turning her “sorrow into strength” and practicing EQ she could handle the low points or dark hours of her life. As Gerber (2007) wrote “Like Eleanor, you should work toward self-mastery-the ability to take control on your own terms for the purpose of healing and helping yourself” (p. 72). In Dubrin’s 2010 book on leadership he believed that when “star performers were compared with average ones in senior leadership positions, differences in emotional intelligence were more pronounced than differences in cognitive abilities” (p.
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. Goleman defined this “emotional intelligence” of a human being as a set of competencies that distinguish how one manages

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. Fourth, to explore the elements of emotional intelligence that leaders must be aware of to increase leadership effectiveness.

Leaders today are presented with an ever-increasing reliance on unifying a team or organization to achieve goals and objectives. With this demand for higher-level leaders, the ability through which a leader is able to appeal to specific traits and qualities is never more important. Emotional Intelligence (EI) is one area of focus that a leader in the marketplace today must be able to appeal to and demonstrate as a core competency.
A leader is more than just running a group; it is some one who impacts at least one other person’s life in a positive way. A leader is someone who can guide others into accomplishing some success and goals. Furthermore, empower others is essential in the ability to maintain positive leadership. A leader is caring, must be willing to adapt and share the values of others, while still preserving their own personal values and beliefs. One aspect of being a good leader is having strong self-awareness- described as knowing your own strengths and weaknesses. Emotional intelligence, another aspect of being a respectable leader, is knowing your inner emotional state and remaining in control of it. Emotional
"Emotional Intelligence is a way of recognizing, understanding, and choosing how we think, feel, and act. It shapes our interactions with others and our understanding of ourselves. It defines how and what we learn; it allows us to set priorities; it determines the majority of our daily actions. Research suggests it is responsible for as much as 80% of the "success" in our lives." The Effective leader requires a high degree of Emotional Intelligence. In this study, the various skills of Emotional Intelligence can be related with real situations. The various skills of Emotional Intelligence are Self awareness, self regulation, motivation, Empathy, social skill. People with high self-awareness are also able
Emotional intelligence is an important characteristic in becoming a good leader. “Emotional intelligence is the ability to manage oneself and one's relationships in mature and constructive ways” (Kinicki & Kreitner, 2009, p.137).Being a good leader entails more than just being smart; leaders need to be able to connect to their employees emotionally and empathetically. Organizations today not only look for leaders with the skills, but leaders that can emotionally connect to employees to obtain the organization’s goal. “Leaders have always played a primordial emotional role. No doubt humankind’s original leaders-whether tribal chieftains or shamanesses-earned their place in large part because their leadership was
Emotional intelligence is a term I had never heard of before I took my first leadership class. Now that I know what emotional intelligence is and I understand how to use it I hope to apply it to benefit myself and my organizations. I recognize what a huge disadvantage those that do not understand emotional intelligence are faced with. Emotional Intelligence has become a vital part of how today's leaders meet the many various challenges they face on a day to day basis. Emotional Intelligence can help leaders lead their group or organization through the good and the bad times, something that fewer and fewer people seem capable of accomplishing. Lack of emotional intelligence is
