...Emotional Intelligence Leadership Success. Seth Ramachandiran Theoretical Paper submitted for the OB Class. Abstract: The theoretical paper defines and analyses the impacts of the Emotional Intelligence on leadership and success. Emotional intelligence, Leadership and success are very subjective terms and can be interpreted in various ways.. Hence an attempt is made to define them and set the boundaries of the analysis. Firstly the foundations of emotional intelligence are established and boundaries of it is defined. The scope of leadership and success is defined in the organisations in OECD countries. Couple of examples from India and China is added to differentiate how diverse the leadership and success in these countries compared to US corporations. The leadership excludes the political leadership as such and ability to win votes even though the shared vision, hope (President Obama’s Hope) and mass communication is as much an application of EI as any corporate leaders. Some of the practical aspect of the EI is added in this article to make it more direct and meaningful to practical organisational life. The applications of Intentional Change Theory, shared visions are discussed as useful tool. At an individual level the Positive Emotional Attractor and Negative Emotional Attractor are established. Scientific basis of EI measurement and the research from neurological study is presented to complete the analysis. How the meditation, mindfulness and Yoga fit into...

...Primal Leadership Introduction The Walking Dead television series is a great example of how different leadership styles are used in the survival of the group. The series is about a group of survivors in a post-apocalyptic world lead by Sheriff Rick Grimes, played by actor Andrew Lincoln. There are ongoing threats to the group’s existence, as well as new challenges that occur without warning. There are also examples of weak and strong leadership, just like there would be in any team environment. What I like is the multitude of leadership styles among The Walking Dead characters. The following is a breakdown of the six leadership styles; visionary, coaching, affiliative, democratic, pacesetting, and commanding and how different characters in the Walking Dead series represented each style. Visionary Leader While doing research for this class, I grasped how very important it is for leaders to have positive relationships with their followers. These relationships make for a smooth transition when leaders need their team to follow directions. Rick’s dream is to protect his kids, look after the group, and safeguard humanity. Goleman, Boyatziz, Mckee (2013) pg 58 stated, “Using inspiration together with the EI triad of self-confidence, self-awareness, and empathy, visionary leaders articulate a purpose that rings true for themselves and attune it to values shared by the people they lead.” An emotional intelligence competency Rick excelled at was transparency. Because Rick...

...Examining Emotions, Attitudes, and Job Satisfaction BUS 520 – Leadership and Organizatinal Behavior . Emotion, attitude and job satisfaction can influence decision-making. A poor decision-making is an effect of negative behavior or mood and can interfere with a person’s job or decision-making. Job satisfaction is another way whereby employees can be influence. Emotions determine job satisfaction (and vice-versa) and how employees attitude influence the performance of the organization. Having all these traits can be asset to all the managers and directors in a company whose job is to entail the planning and decision-making. Making sense on how people behave can depend on understanding their attitudes. Some people can have emotional attachments toward the company they work for (and some don’t). Managers can have some strong influence over the satisfaction of employees and how they are treated fairly. Managers have a collection of feelings and beliefs that can be strongly attached to job satisfaction. I have come to notice that ambition can negatively influence job satisfaction more so in making decisions in part of the roles that the employees play. Job satisfaction in other words, can be placed as a positive emotional state resulting from a great culture to another, providing better chances to employee’s participation in decision-making. Job satisfaction can be one-dimensional if it comprises evaluation in the interest of employee’s attitudes. Later...

...Abstract In order for a business to be successful and competitive the leader must keep employees engaged in the company. Business does not thrive unless there is a leader who exemplifies emotional intelligence. Managers want to make sure employees feel compensated for their hard work, but also making sure the company is not putting themselves in a hole on the balance sheet. Businesses have fallen due to lack of knowledge about how to keep employees interested so that they can be productive for the business. Leaders must understand and create procedures that are both positive and beneficial to the business. The success that a business can have depends on the leadership style that is chosen. Keywords: Leader, Workforce, employee Leadership Styles Leadership styles have multiple effects not only in small businesses but also in the world's largest corporations. These styles have an impact on everyone from senior management to the newest college intern. They help form the corporate culture that shapes the organization and its performance (Carraher). Autocratic Style Effects, also known as authoritarian leadership, autocratic style clearly helps identify the division between leaders and workers. Autocratic leaders make decisions with little or no involvement from employees. These leaders are supremely confident and comfortable with the decision-making responsibility for company operating and strategic plans (Carraher). Although...

...Leadership By Rudolph W. Giuliani The book “Leadership” by Rudolph W. Giuliani is a well thought out book about being a leader through very hard time in the world, going through September 11 2001 and holding it all together and bringing not just a city but actually the whole United States of American back from an attack on America. In this paper I will try and point out some things that stand out about Mr. Giuliani leadership skill and compare them to the “Primal Leadership” written by Daniel Goleman, Richard Boyatzis, and Annie McKee, and also comparing them to “The Steward Leader” by R. Scott Rodin. You’re setting there finishing up your morning meeting like you do every day of the week, everything going as normal, when you are told that a plane just hit the “World Trade Center”! What would be the first thing come to your mind would be “Oh No” or maybe “What do we do now”! No, He takes the situation head on and starts preparing for it from the get go. How many of us could say that about our outlook, when something bad happens to us, most of us would get out of shape and start trying to figure out why it happen, or might even run from it. Leadership is the name of the game you have to be prepared for anything that come at you or as the old saying goes “be prepared for anything because you never know what come behind the next door” during times like this you need to surround yourself with trust worthy people that you can bounce ideas off of and get straight answer and...

...Leadership Development Seminars and ECQ-based Readings The success or failure of any endeavor depends on leadership. Now, more than ever before, we need leaders in our organizations and in our world. Great leaders create and communicate a vision and move people into action to achieve it. They ignite our passion and inspire us to do our best. Government leaders in the 21st century are experiencing change at a more rapid pace than previous generations. Rapid advances in technology have expanded the quantity of work we are capable of accomplishing, and also where it’s accomplished. We have a more highly educated workforce, yet face diminishing resources with an increased demand for productivity, and the essential services we provide to the American public. To be successful at navigating these challenges leaders must develop the essential skills to motivate their employees, effectively communicate with others, fine-tune critical thinking skills, and build and leverage partnerships. Future leaders must also be visionary; i.e., possess the ability to identify trends and the courage to be innovative. Being technically adept in your field will no longer be enough. In response to these demands on senior executives, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management identified five Executive Core Qualifications (ECQs) that all aspiring government leaders and executives must possess. These ECQs and Fundamental Competencies were developed by OPM after extensive research on the attributes...

It dispels the myth that you have to be extroverted to be happy and successful.” —JUDITH ORLOFF, M.D., author of Emotional Freedom “In this engaging and beautifully written book, Susan Cain makes a powerful case for the wisdom of introspection.

According to ancient Vedic texts (and later through Tantric and Taoist traditions), the energetic, or subtle, body is the foundation of the food, or coarse body, and the bridge between the physical and causal realms. Therefore, the structure of the subtle energetic body provides an intended means for human spiritual development, or evolution (which enables humanity to fulfill its purpose as a conduit between heaven and earth, hence transforming into an entity more subtle, and original). The text’s primary purpose is to present oriental bio-energetic theory, and second, to bridge...
