Overall people have this notion that a person is intelligent, because they are capable of doing well academically. After taking the emotional intelligence test I realized that there are so many different aspects to intelligence. Intelligence is the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills. Sometimes the different types of intelligence can be confusing, but taking the test it asked specific questions. Emotional intelligence makes an individual personable; it is all about getting to know and understanding people in your surroundings. “You may have the IQ that’s required to get into medical school, but if you want to go from being a good physician to a great one, you have to have social and emotional intelligence” (Matthies, 2016). On the other hand intelligence is all about learning and doing based on skills learned. For example emotional intelligence is all about doing the right things, and treating people or situation fairly. It is about concern and kindness towards one, and making sure the message is delivered in the best manner. Intelligence focuses on getting the job done, but not necessarily any emotions involved. Which means it is not all about the emotions, but focuses more on achieving the goal or finishing a task …show more content…
My manager that exhibited emotional intelligence, she was kind, caring, and motivating. In my opinion she was a Transformational Leader. “ Transformational leaders understand that their staff mem- bers are the most knowledgeable about the factors often overlooked in strategic planning and that the entire team’s support is necessary to operationalize the strategic plan”(Harrison, 2016, Pg.70) She loved her job, her employees, and the well-being of patients’. She was aware of her surrounding, and her goal was to have a successful team. For example she would have weekly meeting, employees had the option to make suggestions for improve. She was an active listener, and she took action to fix any complaints and concerns. On the other hand I have had mangers that exhibited low level of emotional intelligence. He didn’t care about the organization or the employees; he was very rude and degrading. For example, he made a comment one day stating “I am only here for the money and once I find a better organization I will be leaving this place” Overall the high intelligence manager made a huge impact on my own motivation, and productivity. However the low level emotional intelligence manager didn’t affect me because I am fully aware of his behavior and I knew better than to be affected. Manager’s emotional intelligence can be
Surprisingly, intelligence is not defined as a single ability, but by a combination of related abilities. For instance, a savant that discerns numbers different than the average human, and uses those numbers to connect with others is an unconventional show of intelligence. And there are even infographics that people design, and dedicate time and effort into, showing their thoughts on intelligence. Lastly, there have been articles written about intelligence that layout the author’s thoughts on how intelligence should be viewed. While some people label intelligence as academic skills, an individual can actually develop many different forms of intelligences, outside of academics.
What is emotional intelligence? Paul Hong author of “Emotional intelligence Goleman’s four competencies” says that emotional intelligence can be described as the ability to recognize and manage your own and others’ emotions, including the capacity to self motivate and handle interpersonal relationships.The novel Brave New World took out the main component in a human set up so there is no way to create a special bond with other humans.
Emotional Intelligence, also known as ‘EI’, is defined as the ability to recognize, authoritize and evaluate emotions. The ability to control and express our own emotions is very important but so is our ability to understand, interpret and respond to the emotions of others. To be emotionally intelligent one must be able to perceive emotions, reason with emotions, understand emotions and manage emotions.
(Yoder-Wise, 2015, p. 7). Emotional intelligence involves managing the emotions of others while owning personal emotions. According to Skholer, “Researchers define emotional intelligence (EI) as the ability to recognize/monitor one’s own and other people’s emotions, to differentiate between different feelings, and to use emotional information to guide thinking, behavior, and performance.” (Skholer & Tziner, 2017).
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.

Emotional Intelligence is this ability for yourself to recognize and understand emotions for yourself and those around you.

Emotional Intelligence (EI) is defined as the ability to perceive, use, understand and manage emotions. Individuals with a high level of EI typically have the ability to use feelings to facilitate thought, understand emotional knowledge and have the ability to regulate emotions to promote emotional and intellectual growth. Research has shown that EI plays a major role in the success of leadership and professional development. Research has also shown that the difference between an intelligent person and an intelligent manager is mostly due to a person ’s EI as this dictates the way people deal with one another and understand emotions.
