...Do managers need emotional intelligence to manage successfully in the workplace? Why or why not? According to Mayer and Salovey (1997), the concept ‘emotional intelligence’ can be defined as ‘the ability to perceive emotions, to access and generate emotions so as to assist thought, to understand emotions and emotional knowledge, and to reflectively regulate emotions so as to promote emotional and intellectual growth’ (cited in George 2000, p1033). Since the 1990s, the relationship between emotional intelligence and managerial skills has been discussed intensely. The purpose for this essay is to argue that managers do need emotional intelligence to manage successfully for following reasons.

...Christine Salazar Mid-Semester Essay Test Human Relations What is Emotional Intelligence? It’s a conscious habit of naming and identifying our emotions on a daily basis that makes us aware of our feelings at they come up in day to day interactions with others. It helps us to control our emotions in overwhelming circumstances, allows us to communicate our feelings to express ourselves more effectively and also helps us to become mindful of others feelings as well as our own behaviors. Over all, a well developed emotional intelligence creates empathy. In today’s work place, Employers are finding it harder and harder to find so they are resorting to classes and continuing education on emotional intelligence. Without emotional intelligence it would be difficult for a manager to coach and direct their team effectively. Emotional intelligence greatly affects how a person handles situations that come up in the work environment. For instance, if a person is angry and hostile, then he is more likely make decisions that are based on retaliation and revenge where as if they had a well established emotional intelligence, then their decisions are more likely to be based on common knowledge and an attitude that is positive and driven towards resolution and fairness. So with emotional intelligence you are able to control your feelings, not the other way around. A person with high emotional intelligence is more likely to be able to make more sound decisions for themselves and...

...around you, or are you supposed to be rude back because it’s not fair to be treated disrespectfully? This is a case of something called emotional labor. Organizational Behavior, by Robbins and Judge, defines emotional labor as an employee’s expression of organizationally desired emotions during interpersonal transactions at work. This being said, a person who expresses emotional labor would shake off this verbal abuse from his coworker to keep his behavior appropriate for work. A factor that may contribute to someone’s ability to be able to show emotional labor is the idea of emotional intelligence. Organizational Behavior says, Emotional intelligence ( EI) is a person’s ability to ( 1) be self- aware (to recognize her own emotions when she experiences them), ( 2) detect emotions in others, and ( 3) manage emotional cues and information. With these two concepts taken into consideration, one can hypothesize that someone with a high level of emotional intelligence would be able to engage in emotional labor. If the aforementioned new employee was able to manage emotional cues and information, a critical part of emotional intelligence, than they would be able to keep their emotions in check and display emotions that were acceptable at the workplace. Emotional intelligence isn’t the only factor that contributes to a person’s ability to engage in emotional labor, however, there...

...Grade_________ Date _______________ The Importance of Interpersonal Leadership Introduction There have been several researches on how an individual leader can improve the skills on managing and guiding the members or employees to reach a desired goal. Building and maintaining relationships with employees or members in a team is what researchers tend to focus on more. There are reviews on psychological research on leaderships and they have been conducted for many years. Examples show that leadership is an independent variable (e.g. Bass, 1990; Rost, 1991; Yukl, 1989). This essay will talk about the importance of interpersonal leadership. But more importantly, this essay will discuss the possible arguments some authors and researches have put forward against interpersonal leadership and also how despite all the arguments, the weight of interpersonal leadership is much heavier. This essay will explore all the possibilities of having an interpersonal approach to leadership and also the criticisms. First, I will discuss about empirical evidence of interpersonal leadership followed by the criticisms. After which I will put forward my...

...leaders is that many theories and models have been based on Western perspectives (House and Aditya, 1997, p.409) and typically based on research with white males (Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development, CIPD, 2008, p.7). There is some cultural crossover in servant leadership, which according to Northouse (2013, p.219), was originally proposed by Greenleaf in the 1970s, and also has origins in ancient Eastern and Western philosophies; for example, it is deeply embedded in Arab-Islamic culture (Sarayrah, 2004, p.59). A further concern is raised by Mullins (2008, p.265) who states that determining who is a ‘good leader’ is a subjective judgement and cannot be based, for example, on financial performance alone. The aim of the following essay is to investigate whether certain characteristics are related to good leadership and which can be identified in theories and models of leadership such as trait theory, transformational and...

...qualities commonly associated with emotional intelligence, which one(s) do you most relate to as being a strength of yours? Provide a specific example that applies to a work setting. What is a limitation for you? Provide a specific example. From Wood Chapter 7, “Emotional intelligence”, qualities that are included in emotional intelligence are as follows: • Being aware of your feelings • Dealing with emotions without being overcome by them • Not letting setbacks and disappointments derail you • Channeling your feelings to assist you in achieving your goals • Being able to understand how others feel without their spelling it out • Listening to your feelings and those of others so you can learn from them • Having a strong yet realistic sense of optimism I believe my most evident emotional intelligence qualities are dealing with emotions without being overcome by them and not letting setbacks and disappointments derail me. If I think about a work-setting example, I had a particular employee that during our performance review broke down and was very upset. She proceeded to tell me a heartbreaking story about her sister having a very bad accident and being in a critical condition in hospital. Her performance review was not going very well before this news broke to me but I knew there was something not quite right. Once we had discussed the situation, I cancelled the review and told her not to worry as we could postpone the review until she...

...effectiveness, Management Scholars and practioners are beginning to emphasize the importance of a manager’s emotional intelligence”(Sosik,Megirian 1999,p.367). Emotional Intelligence is a combination of competencies. These skills contribute to a person’s ability to manage and monitor his or her own emotions, to correctly gauge the emotional state of others and to influence opinions (Caudron 1999, p.62; Goleman, 1998). Competitive advantage depends largely on the ability to activate and use organizational resources. As a result, the focus in the strategic management, organizational behavior and human resource management literature turned to the internal capabilities of organizations including a particular focus on employees’ competencies. Furthermore, in any business or organization, its success or failure will rely on how well its people are able to deliver its product and service, work together and work with other businesses. In recent years, there has been a realization that emotions are very much part of work place success. How individuals respond to real situations each and every day and what organizations do foster productive emotional responses can make the difference the organization that stumbles and the organization that thrives. Research indicates a strong correlation between emotional intelligence and individual job performance. By emphasizing on emotional intelligence in hiring, team building and training programmes- senior management and human resource professionals can...

...This essay critically examines leadership style and change management strategy in relation to a particular change in clinical practice. The change made in practice was a move from open access at well baby clinic to an appointment system. The effectiveness of the leader will be demonstrated by focusing on the change process, applying leadership theory to the change and its implementation in practice. This essay also identifies implications for practice and developmental needs for the author, the team and the sphere of practice. It begins by outlining policy drivers relating to leadership within the NHS generally and health visiting specifically. It is interesting to note that despite the vast literature on leadership there is very little agreement amongst scholars on the definition of the term (Willcocks 2012; Alimo-Metcalfe and Lawler 2001). Contemporary government policies such as the Health Visitor Implementation plan (GBDH 2011) focus on the desirability of strong leadership to improve the quality of care but are equally vague on defining leadership (Willcocks 2012; Martin and Learmonth 2012). Some authors have found that the term “leader” has merely superseded the terms “administrator” and “manager” within the confines of the NHS (Martin and Learmonth 2012; Sheridan, Rastan and Foulkes 2008; Hodgetts 2012) as it confers an image of “heroism” and, as yet, carries none of the negative connotations associated with administration or management. It has been suggested that leadership...

...theories are being utilized in. In this paper, I will be discussing the key variables needed in a leadership theory to effectively lead and manage others. I will also examine major components of each theory, and how they compare to one another. Finally, I will examine which theory best fits my leadership qualities, and my ability to lead others in an organizational setting. SERVANT LEADERSHIP theory Servant leadership is a philosophy and set of practices that enriches the lives of individuals, builds better organizations and ultimately creates a more just and caring world. While servant leadership is a timeless concept, the phrase “servant leadership” was coined by Robert K. Greenleaf in The Servant as Leader, an essay that he first published in 1970. In that essay, Greenleaf said: “The servant-leader is servant first. It begins with the natural feeling that one wants to serve, to serve first. Then conscious choice brings one to aspire to lead. That person is sharply different from one who is leader first, perhaps because of the need to assuage an unusual power drive or to acquire material possession. The leader-first and the servant-first are two extreme types. Between them there are shadings and blends that are part of the infinite variety of human nature. “The difference manifests itself in the care taken by the servant-first to make sure that other people’s highest priority needs are being served. The best...

...emotionally to things that happen to them at work, and that their reactions can influence their attitudes and behaviors at work. The theory, which was introduced by psychologists Howard M. Weiss and Russell Cropanzano, states that negative emotional episodes in a work environment can produce shocks that then produce lasting affective reactions. Emotions and moods are an important part of daily live and work live, and can influence our job performance and job satisfaction. The affective events theory demonstrates how employees react emotionally to things that happen to them at work, and that their reactions can influence their attitudes and behaviors at work. The theory, which was introduced by psychologists Howard M. Weiss and Russell Cropanzano, states that negative emotional episodes in a work environment can produce shocks that then produce lasting affective reactions. Work events can include, but not limited to hassles, tasks, autonomy, job demands, emotional labor and uplifting actions. Emotional labor occurs when an employee displays the company’s desired emotions during interpersonal transactions at work. These work events affect employees positively or negatively. Employee mood directly affects the intensity of their reaction. This emotional response intensity therefore affects job performance and satisfaction. Forced smiles, frustration, and resentment can lead to turnovers, and employees feeling burnout. Affective events theory or AET, studies how people feel at work...
