MGT 631. Leading With Emotional Intelligence. 2 Credit Hours.
Emotional Intelligence is one of the keys to high performance leadership, as well as promoting sustainable well-being of employees in organizations. Emotional intelligence provides a framework for understanding how people’s emotions contribute to optional functioning at work. Accurately recognizing a person’s emotions facilitates the prediction and understanding of that person’s subsequent actions. Understanding the significance of emotional states guides attention, decision-making, and behavioral responses. Labeling emotions allows for optimal communication. Expressing emotions accurately ensures that emotions are communicated in socially appropriate ways. Regulating emotions enables one to express socially appropriate emotions and to behave in socially acceptable ways. Intelligent processing and effective management of emotional information are necessary, therefore, to be an effective leader in the workplace and beyond in the broader community.
