...Mindful Emotional Intelligence In College Students College students unusually face personal, socioeconomic and academic responsibilities that are often ignored (Barragán, Lewis, Palacios, 2007). Several studies show that psychological problems suffered by college students are related to anxiety disorders, stress and fear of being evaluated (Salanova, Breso, & Schaufeli, 2005). These emotions have a really important and transcendental role on student’s lifestyle, their way of interacting with their own reality and their everyday life. Likewise, the increase of college workload, lack of motivation, the feeling of failure, hopelessness about the future or a low concept of auto efficacy have increased frustration expectancies among students because nowadays a bachelor’s degree is not enough for young people to find a good job (Tejedor & García Valcárcel, 2007)....

...Running head: APA IS EASY Paper Title Student’s Name, Class Grand Canyon University Corporate Training Today, managers need well-trained employees and are finding they do not exist. Corporations are, therefore, providing additional training for their employees. One such training program that is being added to corporate learning environments is an awareness of emotional intelligence. Business managers are learning that successful managers need high Emotional Quotient (EQ) or Emotional Intelligence (EI) to work effectively. Emotional intelligence is the ability to accurately perceive emotions in self and others, to identify different emotional responses, and to use emotional information to make intelligent decisions (Goleman, 2000). A leading expert on EQ finds that “people good at managing relationships tend also to be self-aware, self-regulating, and empathetic” (Goleman, 2000, p. 33). Emotional intelligence is especially important “at the highest levels of the company, where differences in technical skills are of little importance. In other words, the higher the rank of the person, the more emotional intelligence capabilities are needed for decision making effectiveness” (Goleman, 1986, p. 94). Emotional intelligence is crucial to a successful business career and for effective group performance (Goleman, 1986).

...What is Transformational Leadership? Is there a relationship between transformational leadership and emotional intelligence? Introduction For more than three decades, the paradigm of transformational leadership has attracted a vast amount of academic interest. A large number of empirical studies lend credibility to this interest by linking aspects of transformational leadership to a range of positive organisational and individual outcomes (Bass, 1997; Bass & Avolio, 1994; Lowe, Kroeck & Sivasubramaniam, 1996). Due to these desirable effects, a significant amount of research has also been undertaken in trying to understand factors that predict or contribute to transformational leadership behaviours. For this reason, the relationship between emotional intelligence and transformational leadership is one that has attracted much attention. The following paper examines this proposition in more detail. In order to gain a more detailed understanding of transformational leadership and its relationship with emotional intelligence, the paper first examines the two subjects as standalone concepts. In determining if and how a relationship exists, the paper subsequently brings the two constructs together so that a critical examination and analysis of the research available can be undertaken. Lastly, after examining the case for and against a relationship, a conclusion is drawn from the analysis presented. Transformational Leadership The notion of transforming leadership was first introduced...

...Emotional Intelligence 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 emotionally compelling” (Goleman, 2002, para.2). The lack of emotional intelligence can hinder working relationships in any organization. The results, accuracy, and benefits of my Emotional Intelligence Quiz will be discussed in this paper, in addition to whether I was surprised by the results. The Institute for Health and Human Potential emotional intelligence quiz states that my emotional intelligence is high. The results mention that my “level of EQ likely has been and will be a driver of your high performance for years to come” (IHHP, 2011, para.1). To me, this is a true statement. I have been in leadership roles before, and my ability to connect emotionally with my co-workers has made me an empathic and effective leader. Because...

These skills form the ground of my ability to relate to the emotions of other people as well as the ability to understand myself. Emotional Intelligence is defined, by John D. Mayer and Peter Salovey, 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. There are four branches of emotional intelligence perceiving emotions, reasoning with emotions, understanding emotions, and then managing emotions.
