Innovation comes into the picture when a leader has the self-knowledge and self-confidence to devise innovative solutions. Leaders without a high level of self-confidence will typically be more conservative in their approach, and that can make it more difficult for those leaders to adjust. Innovation, therefore, comes from having a high level of confidence in one's abilities -- and that in turn comes from understanding your skills and how they can be best put to use in a given situation.
The article is insightful with respect to the role that emotional intelligence, particularly with regard to oneself, plays in decision-making. While managers often see themselves as highly rational, we all use our intuition more than perhaps we realize. The lesson to take from this is not that intuition should be suppressed, but that we should better understand the processes that affect that intuition. The more we know about ourselves, how we process...
One's intuition derives from emotions, knowledge and prior experience. But the decisions that are intuitive in nature can be improved when the manager understands how those decisions have come about. For the most effective leaders, intuition is more than just a gut feeling, it is something that can be understood and to a point controlled. This allows for better decisions, greater innovation and superior creativity, all executed with a high level of confidence. In bringing the reader to an understanding of this, the article is valuable, because it explains the processes that we attribute to intuition, and demystifies the different forms of emotional intelligence.

Graduate Employability Once each student graduates from the various colleges and training institutions, it is their expectations that they will be able to either get gainful employment that is equivalent to their academic and training levels and one that is sustainable. If the graduates will not be able to get the gainful employment, then it is hoped that they should be able to create employment as the contemporary trends are. There
Self-ASSESSMENT OF EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE Intelligence Overall, my emotional intelligence score is 82. Scores of 80 -- 89 are considered strong, and those people with scores in that range can count their emotional intelligence as a strong upon which they should continue to build. This is interesting news for me. Emotional intelligence is an issue in education and in the professional world that has garnered increased attention in the 21st century. Gardner's theory
Armed with such information, transformational leaders can respond appropriately thus effectively averting possible fallout. This is a clear indication that they possess empathy. Empathy according to Goleman (2004) is "the ability to understand the emotional makeup of other people." By easily identifying with the thoughts and concerns of their followers, transactional leaders can better take a group's pulse while at the same time correctly reading its concerns and thoughts.

Self-Assessment and Reflection According to Daniel Goleman, author of Emotional Intelligence: Why it Can Matter More than IQ (July 1997): "Self-awareness includes the competencies of emotional awareness, accurate self-assessment and self-confidence. Skill in knowing about personal strengths and limits and self-worth are related to these competencies." Various professional tests I have taken have provided me with some insights into my own personality characteristics and personal and professional strengths. For example, according
