Insure Your Business Acumen With Emotional Intelligence Leadership Development

By Scott Gibson


Newer discoveries in the development of business skills make it easier. Emotional intelligence leadership development is one concept that was discovered in 1990 that enhances business skills. In a research paper by a couple of scientists it was identified as the ability of understand emotions and how they relate to relationships. It is also the ability to control both ones own emotions and that of others. It is a major ingredient in developing business skills.

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 is the ability to control negative thoughts and impulses. It simply means being able to remain in control. It involves knowing your emotions, and those of others as well. It means being to calm oneself, and to manage relationships in a calm manner. You must further be able to motivate yourself, and recognize opportunities for self and others, and being able to be in charge at times when it is needed.

Motivating is another component. It helps the leader encourage the subordinate, as well themselves, to follow plans in their lives. It pushes an individual to work hard at achieving plans. However, there is no specific plan for motivating. As a leader, one should be aware of subordinates needs. Knowing different needs of subordinates will certainly make the decision-making process easier.

Empathy, another component, involves recognizing others' emotions, understanding things from their perspective. The leader must think beyond themselves, and recognize that people are probably not being unreasonable, but are merely responding to things based on their own perspective. The leader must think of things in that light.

Communication is one of the aspects of social skills. The leader should be skilled in communicating with everyone and with conflict resolution with both self and others. Being able to give praise that will encourage others to accept new projects is also an important aspect. Praising someone for something that is not important to another is not really praise to them.

To be an effective leader, one must validate the other's perspective, examine their own attitude, listen to the other person in entirety, and ask what the other person would do, not try to figure it out on your own. The leader who recognizes another person for something that means nothing to them is not showing empathy. They need to understand what means a lot to that person and recognize them for that trait.
