Emotional Intelligence Emotional Intelligence refers to an individuals ability to recognize and understand their own emotions as well of that of others being able to discriminate between and provide appropriate labels for different feelings.

  14. Relationship Management • Speaks to one’s ability to use the awareness of your own emotions and the emotions of others to successfully manage interactions.

  15. Emotional Intelligence / Intellect and Personality • No link between EI and intellect - Can’t predict one’s emotional intelligence based on how smart he/she is. • Skills that can be acquired/ improved with practice. • Personality defines you, stable ; can’t be used to determine emotional intelligence.

  16. Motivation/Inspiration • Leaders seek varying strategies to inspire workers. These strategies include birthday clubs, socials, rewards, family fun days etc. External strategies. • The employer’s ability to engage the employee through relationship. Motivation is internal. Employees must be inspired/motivated through the relationship with employer and the work itself.

  17. Motivation Richard Deci highlighted a few factors to motivation: • Sense of autonomy, • Feeling of competence, • Relatedness to the broader work of the organization, and • Connection to the community of fellow employees.

  18. Empathy • The ability to sense how others feel and connect at an emotional level. Leaders have to connect with people on a personal level – understand their feelings and what’s happening with and to them.

  19. Social Skills • This category involves the application of empathy as well as negotiating the needs of others with your own. This can include finding common ground with others, managing others in a work environment, and being persuasive.

  20. Self-Regulation Management • Managing your emotions, handling your feelings, handling interpersonal interactions, managing the emotions of others and negotiations in a way that is relevant and appropriate to the current situation. • When leaders effectively regulate themselves they rarely make rushed or emotional decisions or compromise their values. They stay in control.

  21. Leaders should be flexible and committed to personal accountability. • Know your values. • Hold yourselves accountable • Practice being calm.

  22. To be effective, leaders must have a solid understanding of how their emotions and actions affect the people around them. The better a leader relates to and works with others, the more successful he or she will be.
