What is Emotional Intelligence in Leadership?

What Is Emotional Intelligence? Emotional intelligence (EI) is the ability to understand and manage your own emotions, and those of the people around you. People with a high degree of emotional intelligence know what they're feeling, what their emotions mean, and how these emotions can affect other people. For leaders, having emotional intelligence is essential for success. After all, who is more likely to succeed – a leader who shouts at his team when he's under stress, or a leader who stay in control, and calmly assesses the situation? According to Daniel Goleman, an American psychologist who helped to popularize EI, there are five main elements of emotional intelligence:1. Self-awareness.2. Self-regulation.3. Motivation.4. Empathy.5. Social skills. The more that you, as a leader, manage each of these areas, the higher your emotional intelligence. So, let's look at each element in more detail and examine how you can grow as a leader. We can continue this topic if you like this. Thanks

Emotional intelligence for me is about the following:There are various styles of leadership, and as a leader I have a choice depending on the situation as to which leadership style I choose.

The style I am a ware of are:

Autocratic

Bureaucratic

Democratic

Laisssez-faire

Servant

Transfromational

Transactional

Inspirational/charismatic

With all this though there are some ethics and integrity issues that a leader must have to get him/her into the game. My belief is they are the following:

Worki is as natural as play

Self control in acheiving your goals

Encourage creativity

Motivation

Allow people to be self directed and creative

 

I firmly believe that people want to grow and feel appreciated, let that shine through!
