According to Cherniss (2001) the term EI refers to the ability to perceive and express emotion, assimilate emotion in thought, understand and reason with emotion, and regulate emotions in him/her self and others. In other words, EI is one’s ability to be aware of one’s own feelings, be aware of others’ feelings, to differentiate among them, and to utilize the information to guide one’s thinking and behaviour (Salovey and Mayer, 1994). From this definition it is observed that definition consists of three levels of abilities: evaluation and expression of emotion, regulation of emotion; using emotions in
According to Caruso et al. ’s “Special Issue on Emotional Intelligence,” EI is the capability to distinguish another’s emotions and react to them effectively (2016). When Testikov abruptly throws Elaine’s electronic organizer out of the limousine window, she is calm under pressure, showing that she possesses high emotional intelligence (EI). Therefore, instead of reacting to the aggressive action with more aggression, she develops a plan to repay the innocent victim for her incidental medical expenses.

Introduction The most complex and dynamic organizations to control and to manage are the healthcare organizations. The nature and the structure of the healthcare organizations necessitate the managers to provide both the leadership controls and the management of powers to all the stakeholders in the field (Kelly 2011). Indeed, the constraints and the scope of the roles and tasks carried out to provide efficient services to the general public are so diverse that a single staff can’t operate on their own without the help of the other individuals. For proper functionality of the organizations in the health sector, coordination and the management of powers is crucial as it ensures the objectives of the firm are achieved.

The intention of this paper is to explain on the relevancy of ‘Emotional Intelligence’ in which of how it is connected in organizational behavior. ‘Emotional Intelligence’ (EQ) was first introduced to the public in 1995 by a physiologist named Dr. Daniel Goleman, even other sources were aware that it may have discussed earlier to date as of 1985. According to Goleman, ‘Emotional Intelligence’ is a type of social intelligence that involves the ability to monitor one’s own and other’s feeling and emotions, to discriminate among them and to use this information to guide one’s thinking and actions. In the context of organizational behavior, the ‘Emotional Intelligence’ principles provide a new way to understand and assess people's behaviors, management
According to Daniel Goleman (1998), Emotional Intelligence is "the capacity for recognizing our own feelings and those of others, for motivating ourselves, and for managing emotions well in ourselves and in our relationships. Leadership influences the behaviors, attitudes and thoughts of others. Effective leaders help others navigate obstacles and challenges. They can also encourage and inspire those around them.
This might be a sign of lacking awareness of problem. Emotional intelligence refers to a person’s abilities to perceive, identify, understand, and successfully manage emotions in self and others. Being emotionally intelligent means being able to effectively manage ourself and our relationships. A leader need a high degree of emotional intelligence to regulate their emotions and motivate others.
Everyone is looking for ways to get better and surveys seem to be the most expedient method leaders use to assess employees. Being able to utilize these tools allows leaders to look at a greater number of employees or potential employees. I have taken three surveys that will help identify my character strengths and weaknesses, as well as, my leadership strength and weaknesses. The first survey I took was Values in Action (VIA) inventory of strengths.
But even with all the leadership training programs and “expert” advice available, effective leadership still eludes many people and organizations. One reason, says Daniel Goleman, is that such experts offer advice based on inference, experience, and instinct, not on quantitative data. Now, drawing on research of more than 3,000 executives, Goleman explores which precise leadership behaviors yield positive results. He outlines six distinct leadership styles, each one springing from different components of emotional intelligence. Each style has a distinct effect on the working atmosphere of a company, division, or team, and, in turn, on its financial performance.
Golemen’s model of intelligence also regards it as mixed intelligence consists of cognitive skill and personality traits but focuses in workplace performance. Mayer and Salovey 's (1997) model of emotional intelligence consists of four different branches including; perception of emotion, emotional facilitation, understanding emotions, and management of emotions. Perception of emotion is the capability to become self-aware of the feelings and to convey the feelings and emotional necessities appropriately to others. Emotional facilitation is the capability to differentiate between the several feelings people are experiencing and recognize those which are affecting their thinking processes. Understanding emotions is the capability to understand complicated feelings.
During my time in high school, I was responsible for leading a fund raising charity event. Aside from this experience I have not been in situations where I have shown or developed valuable leadership qualities (L1,2,3), however after attending the ‘Women in Industry’ event (appendix) I was motivated by these women to look for ways to develop these leadership skills further. If I can develop leadership qualities I can gain a competitive advantage to reach a managerial and higher paying position in my career. Emotional intelligence and leadership are therefore intertwined.
Emotional Intelligence: Bar-On & Trait Model Jordan C. Doucette Arizona State University Bars-On model puts an emphasis on emotionally and socially intelligence behavior involved with emotional expression. Furthermore, this model of emotional-social intelligence contains integrated elements of emotional and social competencies as well as tools and facilitators that regulate how one adequately is able to understand and express emotion as well as understand and relate to others. The EQ-I scale model includes a set of intrapersonal, interpersonal, adaptability, stress management and general mood. It is considered to be an overall effective performance when all of the traits are utilized. The Bars-On serves as the ability
Emotional Intelligence Salovey (2004) defined emotional intelligence (EQ) as organized responses, crossing the boundaries of many psychological subsystems, including the physiological, cognitive, motivation and experiential system. Emotions typically arise in response to an event, either internal or external that has a positively or negatively valence meaning for an individual. Emotions also about biological responses physiological reactions that can prepare the body for adaptive action (Reeve, 1992). On the other hand, emotional intelligence is the subset of social intelligence that involves the ability to monitor one’s own and others’ feelings and emotions, to discriminate among them and use this information to guide one’s thinking and actions
An understanding of what precisely creates emotional intelligence is essential not simply due to the capacity that is so fundamental to leadership but because some people are strong in some of its elements which can be totally lacking in others (Ovans, 2015). The overall result of (Kerr, et al, 2005) data analysis shows that the person’s emotional intelligence may be a key to effective
