Emotional Identification, Perception, and Expression

The core ability of identifying, perceiving and expressing emotions in yourself and others is an area where you seem to be doing quite well. This aspect of emotional intelligence helps you to read others, understand how they feel, and effectively identify your own emotions. These skills form the basis of your ability to relate to the emotions of others as well as well as your ability to understand yourself. Review the results below for further information on areas that may need improvement. …show more content…

“Emotionally intelligent public administration has the ability to understand and to problem-solve situations that are meaningful for vast populations of citizens and for policy issues under the control, management, or supervision of government,” (Ashkanasy & Daus, 2005, p. 4).

From MGT716 Week 7 DQ submission (pp. 2): “EI and leadership is crucial – reading body language, listening (and hearing) tonal inflection, watching two or more co-workers interacting with one another – all of this can lead to a powerful tool that the great leader can sort through and use to the advantage of the organization (Vigoda-Gadot & Meisler, 2010).

The point is not what core values you have, but that you have core values at all, that you know what they are, that you build them explicitly into [an] organization, and that you preserve them over time. (Collins, 2001, p. 195)

Slide 1 - Introduction/Title Page Done
Describe the leader you aspire to be in 3-5 years in a role you aspire to have (insert Jim Collins insights, Mother Teresa’s passion, tenacity, and caring, and Steve Jobs transformational leadership traits) and address the following areas:
Slide 2, 3, - Jim Collins - DONE
Slide 4 – Mother Teresa - DONE
Slide 5 – Steve Jobs – DONE
Slide 6 DONE – Performance strengths and vulnerabilities = performances as the leader I aspire to be
How do your current performance strengths and vulnerabilities contribute to your performance as the leader you aspire to be? ((Rothwell, 1994), and manager/leader traits comparison (no author, no date – from Dr. S)
Rothwell (1994) lists 11 areas of recognizable leadership abilities: 1) Supporting people, 2) Managing profit and loss, 3) Developing new directions, 4) serving customers, 5) leveraging technology, 6) managing business diversity, 7) working internationally, 8) inheriting problems, 9) having high stakes, 10) experiencing job overload, and 11) proving oneself. Of the 11 areas of recognizable leadership abilities, there are four areas that need developing: managing profit and loss, leveraging technology, managing business diversity, and working internationally.
Working internationally is a step I have not taken yet. Cross-cultural solutions, a global volunteer organization, will provide this opportunity, though circumstances prevent involvement at this time. Discussing managing profit and loss, leveraging technology, and managing business diversity with the CEO at work may provide growth in three of the four areas needing development.

“[Emotionally intelligent [public administration] has the ability to understand and to problem-solve situations that are meaningful for vast populations of citizens] and for policy issues under the control, management, or supervision of government,” (Ashkanasy & Daus, 2005, p. 4).

“The impact that EI can have on an organization (negatively and positively) is in direct relation to individual EI and cross-cultural differences,” (Ashkanasy & Daus, 2005).

Internal assessment of aspirations, capabilities, and drive are integral to and interwoven with values, integrity, and ambition. Determining who this author wants to be in three to five years has taken a journey through self-reflection, Emotional Intelligence quizzes, discussion with colleagues and fellow lifelong learners. Additionally, the pursuit of some level of greatness, while narcissistic in its literal interpretation, is what it is – the goal of this author to blend practicality, charisma, kindness, common sense, and compassion to help organizations and individuals become everything they hope to become. The hope of this author is to blend the insights of Jim Collins, the passion, tenacity, and caring spirit of Mother Teresa, and the transformational leadership traits of Steve Jobs to emerge as a unique and forward-thinking Global Effectiveness Consultant/Transformational Ethics Leader.
Combining the discoveries made through self-reflection, emotional intelligence exercises, discussion, and research enables this author to see Collins’ insights, Mother Teresa’s spirit, and the leadership traits of Steve Jobs in the light of theorists like Fred Fiedler. Additionally, the sharing of ideas and ideals from Jones (2008), Ashkenas, Ulrich, Jick & Kerr, 2002, Palmer and Dunford (2008), and Boyd (2008) have opened this authors eyes to the endless possibilities to share her own insights, experience, and knowledge throughout the business world.
