Insure Your Business Acumen With Emotional Intelligence Leadership Development

By Scott Gibson


Newer findings have enabled an easier job in determining what makes the best of business skills. One of the newest, most touted concepts is emotional intelligence leadership development. It is a new concept, and has even more recently become applied to business. Two professors first coined the phrase as applied to business in 1990, in a research paper. The scientific explanation is that it is the ability to understand emotions, including yours and others. It includes understanding how it involves relationships, and being able to manage all emotions, both yours and others. It is an essential ingredient in business leadership.

The best training in the world, without this quality, even in a person with an incisive mind and plenty of ideas, won't mean the person will make a great leader. It requires a firm ability to exercise all the components of emotional intelligence to make a good leader. The trait is defined thoroughly in the paper by Mayer. It is composed of five components. These are self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills. Based on their research, two psychology professors, John D. Mayer and Peter Salovey, first identified the components.

Another important component is that of self-awareness. This is the ability to see oneself with confidence. This allows one to enjoy being creative and making good decisions. It also involves Communicating better and having stronger relationships. There is less instance of lying, cheating, and stealing with more self-awareness. This results in more promotions and stronger leadership, meaning more quality employees, and better companies overall.

Another component is self-regulation. This means controlling negative emotions and impulses, thinking before acting, and being in control of oneself. One must know and control emotions. One need to motivate oneself and manage relationships. They must be calm and flexible with working with colleagues. They must calm down easily and be able to calm others by taking charge of situations.

The next component is motivation. This can be used by the leader to encourage other to do what they desire in life. It encourages the person to strive at what they want. A good business leader can influence self and employees to pursue there dreams. There is no specific pattern for encouragement, as each person has different needs and the leader must be aware of the different needs of their subordinates.

Empathy for others means one is able to recognizing their emotions, to understand things from their perspective. It means thinking beyond oneself, and realizing that people are probably not unkind or being unreasonable. They are more than likely responding to things based on the knowledge they have.

Social skills involves the ability to communicate well with everyone. One must be skilled in conflict resolution, both involving self and others. They are adept at giving praise, and at getting others to accept a new project.

Good leadership skills means looking at the own attitudes, listen to others and seeing things from their perspective. The person must be able to ask what the other person desires about a situation, instead of trying to figure it out on their own. Showing empathy means rewarding the other person in a way that means something to them. If praise doesn't address something they desire, it is not praise and means nothing.
