...The Burghers of Calais is a sculpture made by Auguste Rodin. This sculpture was made in the years of 1884-9 and is located in Calais, France. I believe that Rodin made his sculpture to be a sculpture in the round, which means that it is meant to be seen from all sides. The person viewing the work must walk or move around it to see the whole thing. There are four main ways to make a sculpture, which is carving, modeling, casting, and assembling. In this particular sculpture, Rodin used the casting method, I do not know what the original models were made out of but to mold it he used bronze. The history behind The Burghers of Calais is six top leaders surrendering themselves to be executed. Rodin was commissioned by the French city of Calais...

All different personalities all make up a workforce. In this paper we will be breaking down those personalities and presenting a plan that helps improve their relationship with their work and their team within their career. Individual Assessments Working individually or on a team requires you giving yourself to your work. Depending on your personality it can either help you in your career, or hinder you within your team. On my team I have 7 individuals who work together will very different styles of personalities. Within those personalities there are the thinkers, master-minders, producers, assessor, and the perfecter. When dealing with personalities that include wanting to be right, fear of losing individuality, not like authority, natural curiosity, and someone who likes to have control it can become difficult not only to address those personalities but also to combine them in a team atmosphere. Double space throughout in APA Master-minder The master-minder with the cautious style is more guarded, less indirect, is overly analytical. This can not only help the team by being analytical, but it can also cause conflict if the other personalities see the master-mind as a threat. Since the master-mind does seem to take some calculated risks it does seem that this individual will jump in at times...

...What is emotional intelligence? Emotions inform us about things that are important to us, like the people in our lives, values we hold, needs we may have, or the activities we enjoy. It leads to the motivation, drive, self-control, and passion in our lives – whether at work or at home (Segal, 1997). Emotional Intelligence is having emotional awareness; it refers to the ability to understand our own emotions as well as the emotions of those around us. It involves how we understand our own feelings, have empathy for others, and regulate our emotions to connect with people (DuBrin, 2010). Without it, it would be difficult to build lasting relationships, maintain our families, and succeed as managers. EQ vs IQ What is the difference between emotional intelligence (EQ) and intelligence quotient (IQ)? IQ is the measurement of a person’s ability to learn, understand, and apply information. An IQ can be determined by answering standardized questions and comparing the score to that of other people within the same age rage. This numerical value can help determine a person’s intellect and measure concepts like word comprehension, math skills, and logical reasoning (Ellis-Christensen, 2012). EQ on the other hand, is a measurement of how one recognizes and responds to emotions and how well they communicate with others. EQ can be more difficult to measure because test questions are usually subjective, unlike IQ testing which has more definitive answers for scoring. In general...

Chiongson,RN APPROVED: _____________________________ Chair, Graduate Advisory Committee __________________________ Member __________________________ Member __________________________ Program Chair __________________________ Date of Approval Executive Summary Abstract Over the last decade or so, so much attention has been paid to employees who experience difficulties with work performance because of serious personal problems. Because of the nature of problems such as alcoholism and certain psychiatric illnesses, special strategies have been developed via occupational programs which attempt to use the deteriorating work performance of the employee as a basis for intervening in his or her problem. Such programs have had a mixed reception from management. To study, how problem employees are perceived and handled in the workplace, an interview survey was conducted among a sample of 10 personnel managers drawn from 76 large (200+) manufacturing companies in metropolitan Adelaide. The results indicated that problem employees are seen as either a...

...Emotional Intelligence and Leadership Qualities Self-Awareness Principals of Leadership: Service to Others Fall Semester, 2010 Jeff Hawkins "Emotional intelligence refers to 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," says Daniel Goleman in his book "Working with Emotional Intelligence" (1999). It describes abilities distinct from, but complementary to, academic intelligence - the purely cognitive capacities measured by IQ. The concept of an “emotional intelligence” as important in certain applications as an “Intellectual Intelligence” is not necessarily new. The conversations surrounding Emotional Intelligence are becoming more focused, and taking on a greater relevance in our practices. The idea of emotional intelligence (EQ) as a counterpart to intelligence quotient (IQ) for educators and educational leaders is an expanding area of study and self-reflection. Research shows that emotional intelligence may actually be significantly more important than cognitive ability and technical expertise combined. In fact, some studies indicate that EQ is more than twice as important as standard IQ abilities. Further, evidence increasingly shows that the higher one goes in an organization, the more important EQ can be. For those in leadership positions, emotional intelligence skills account for close to 90 percent of what distinguishes outstanding leaders from...

...VALUES, MOTIVATIONS, AND EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE A number of years ago, I was employed by a large county hospital located in the Metroplex area. Prior to agreeing to accept the position, I’d researched and learned the hospital system was in the process of restructuring. The department I would be working in seemed to be refocusing its efforts and attention toward meeting the needs of more area residents than ever before (via implementing creative outreach and educational-based health programs in underserved communities). After joining the team as the only Social Worker and working in a department with staff possessing years of only nursing experience and advanced nursing education; I quickly realized my unique skills set wasn’t perceived as comparable to others within the department. Although I had years of experience and advanced education in successfully providing and coordinating public health-based programs and initiatives, none of that mattered any more. Serving my community in an efficient and effective manner always motivated me to work harder. Meeting the unique needs of those I was entrusted to serve, educating others/serving as an expert in public health and healthcare, and serving as an advocate for the most vulnerable populations became my passion. Unfortunately, the resourceful methods and creative educational tools I utilized to successfully meet the requirements of my position were not in sync with the department’s new vision and mission, and our partnership soon...

...Leadership by Daniel Goleman and Richard Boyatzis Product 12088 Best of HBR on Emotionally Intelligent Leadership, 2nd Edition Collection Overview What distinguishes great leaders from merely good ones? It’s not toughness, vision, or industry smarts. It’s their emotional intelligence—a potent combination of self-management and relationship skills. Studies strongly suggest that emotional intelligence plays a far greater role than IQ in determining leaders’ effectiveness, and thus their organizations’ success. To increase your emotional intelligence, start by understanding the skills that define it. Then learn how to flexibly interchange those skills to meet the needs of shifting circumstances. Finally, use mood contagion (a powerful neurological process) to create positive chemical connections between your and your followers’ brains.

...Emotional intelligence Emotional intelligence is the ability to recognize the meanings of emotion and their relationship. Having emotional intelligence consists of having the capacity to perceive emotions, assimilate emotion related feelings, understand the information of the emotions, and manage them. The use of emotional intelligence in one’s everyday life is very important. Emotional intelligence is needed in mostly all social situations, and also at work. An employer would of course want someone that is very intelligent for the job, but the candidate can’t emotional intelligence. It is so easy for emotions to run high in the workplace. Employees should always have some emotional intelligence, so that emotion would be understood and the issue dealt with. Emotional intelligence would get a person very far in life. Two tests were taken to test my emotional intelligence. The first test was taken on www.queendom.com. This test was 146 questions long. It consisted of questions that asked what I would do in certain situations, whether a situation was like me or not, and showed pictures of different people showing different emotions, and asked my opinion on the emotion shown. The test results came back saying my overall emotional IQ level is good. In the summary of my results, my strengths, potential strengths, and limitations were given. I agree with all of the strengths named in the results. A few are, my approach to problem solving is conductive to resolution, I have a positive...

...F Primal Leadership: The Hidden Driver of Great Performance hat most influences your company’s bottom-line performance? The answer will surprise you—and make perfect sense: It’s a leader’s own mood. Executives’ emotional intelligence—their selfawareness, empathy, rapport with others—has clear links to their own performance. But new research shows that a leader’s emotional style also drives everyone else’s moods and behaviors—through a neurological process called mood contagion. It’s akin to “Smile and the whole world smiles with you.” W Emotional intelligence travels through an organization like electricity over telephone wires. Depressed, ruthless bosses create toxic organizations filled with negative underachievers. But if you’re an upbeat, inspirational leader, you cultivate positive employees who embrace and surmount even the toughest challenges. Emotional leadership isn’t just putting on a game face every day. It means understanding your impact on others—then adjusting your style accordingly. A difficult process of self-discovery—but essential before you can tackle your leadership responsibilities. T H E I D E A AT W O R K STRENGTHENING YOUR EMOTIONAL LEADERSHIP Since few people have the guts to tell you the truth about your emotional impact, you must discover it on your own.

...History of Emotional Intelligence The earliest roots of emotional intelligence can be traced to Charles Darwin's work on the importance of emotional expression for survival and, second, adaptation.[2] In the 1900s, even though traditional definitions of intelligence emphasized cognitive aspects such as memory and problem-solving, several influential researchers in the intelligence field of study had begun to recognize the importance of the non-cognitive aspects. For instance, as early as 1920, E.L. Thorndike used the term social intelligence to describe the skill of understanding and managing other people.[3] Similarly, in 1940 David Wechsler described the influence of non-intellective factors on intelligent behavior, and further argued that our models of intelligence would not be complete until we could adequately describe these factors.[2] In 1983, Howard Gardner's Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences[4] introduced the idea of multiple intelligences which included both interpersonal intelligence (the capacity to understand the intentions, motivations and desires of other people) and intrapersonal intelligence (the capacity to understand oneself, to appreciate one's feelings, fears and motivations). In Gardner's view, traditional types of intelligence, such as IQ, fail to fully explain cognitive ability.[5] Thus, even though the names given to the concept varied, there was a common belief that traditional definitions of intelligence were lacking in ability to...
