As a leadership ability or trait, emotionally intelligence appears to be an important construct. The people who are more sensitive to their emotions and the impact of emotions on the others are more effective leaders.
In the mid 1990’s Daniel Goleman brought in the concept of EQ or Emotional Intelligence Quotient. This concept added the dimensions of “feeling” or emotions to intelligence. Goleman corroborated this concept woth findings in neuroscience and psychology and proved that if the areas of our brains that think are damaged, then our ability to think actively is diminished.
The hallmarks of EQ are self awareness, self management and social skills. EQ is manifested in trust, empathy and in the ability to respond appropriately to the emotions of others. Those with high EQ are motivated, self disciplined aspire to excel continually, seek re-skilling and learning. These qualities promote long term development and promote high morale.
The emotionally intelligent leader has a profound understanding of the human interaction and how to relate respectfully to others. He masters the skill of leading and motivating others by meeting them with dignity and appreciation.
