Self-regulators who control these impulses run a much lower risk of engaging in such behavior.
While self-awareness and self-regulation are two components of emotional intelligence that help leaders keep the negative in check, the positive emotional intelligence component of motivation is present in "virtually all effective leaders" (Goleman 99). Goleman writes that the difference between motivation for leaders and motivation for others comes down to achievement. While many people are motivated to earn larger salaries or other benefits for themselves, leaders are motivated to achieve for achievement's sake. People that are truly energized by their jobs, "love to learn," and are proud when they do a good job are probably motivated to achieve for achievement's sake (Goleman 99). In addition, those who experience this type of motivation often want to consider other ways that their work might be done more effectively and love to ask questions. Some ways that companies may use to identify those who are seriously motivated include determining those who have a clear track record about their achievements, love their work, and feel "commitment to the organization" (100). These people do not just see achievement in terms personal perks, but instead for the sake of the profession and the company.
Although personal involvement and motivation to succeed is important,...
According to Goleman, "empathy is particularly important today...for at least three reasons: the increasing use of teams; the rapid pace of globalization; and the growing need to retain talent" (100). Leaders that show empathy are more likely to relate to their employees, as well as their customers and clients. Cross-cultural dialog, as well as the need to promote an atmosphere of collaboration and positive behavior, are two important reasons why empathy is important.
Finally, Goleman suggests that social skill, or "friendliness with a purpose," collaborates with empathy to identify workers who "manage relationships with others" (101). People with social skills usually know many people, and they can easily come to an agreement with others. Thus, social skills allow leaders to move "people in the direction you desire" (101). In this way, leaders can hasten results and camaraderie within the group. As "social skill is the culmination of the other dimensions of emotional intelligence," people who can control themselves and direct others tend to have high degrees of social skill. Thus, while high IQs and training may be necessary for leadership, knowing how to manage one's self and others is perhaps a greater indicator of who would…

Emotional intelligence Leadership - What makes a good leader? Emotional intelligence (EI) refers to the capability to recognize, manage and assess emotions. Some researchers propose that emotional intelligence can be learned and reinforced, while others claim it is an innate trait (Cherry, 2011). Emotional Intelligence has become a crucial part of how today's leaders meet the significant challenges they face everyday. Emotional Intelligence can help leaders in an increasingly difficult leadership
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. Further,
In other words Emotional Intelligence means that the individual is capable of: (1) Accurately perceiving emotions in oneself and others; (2) Uses emotions to facilitate thinking; (3) Understands emotional meanings; and (4) Manages emotions well. This model is referred to as the 'ability' model of emotional intelligence. (Mayer & Salovey, 1997) DANIEL GOLEMAN-PERSONAL & SOCIAL COMPETENCE Daniel Goleman proposed the model of emotional intelligence based on the Personal and Social competencies
Emotional Intelligence in Organizations The term "emotional intelligence" refers to a person's ability to identify and regulate his own emotions, as well as the ability to identify and respond appropriately to the emotions of others. The notion that emotional intelligence is linked to professional and commercial success has been around since the 1930s, when psychologist Robert Thorndike coined the phrase "social intelligence," essentially referring to intrapersonal and interpersonal communication skills.
