Discussion: Emotional Intelligence And Leadership
For the first paragraph of your initial post, read the scenario: The vice president of your division calls you into her office to give you the great news; you have been promoted to a senior management post overseeing a new staff of 125 people. While this is a dream come true for you, you are also feeling anxious, fearful, and insecure. The vice president notices your emotions.
Describe in detail how you would use your knowledge of emotional intelligence to effectively reach a positive outcome for all parties concerned.
For the second paragraph, practicing leadership with emotional intelligence can create positive, sustainable relationships and lay the foundation for long-term success.
Propose your continuing action plan for learning to lead with emotional intelligence. What key emotional intelligence quotient (EQ) factors will you focus on for your personal and professional development? What improvements have you noticed in your own performance and professional relationships since the beginning of this course? Have you received any feedback from your supervisors or peers? How did this feedback affect you? As you reflect on your journey in this course, cite examples wherever possible. Defend your perspectives.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
