¶ … Emotional Intelligence
Today, most people have a general understanding concerning the concept of intelligence, but many may lack of comprehensive understanding of the concept of emotional intelligence. To help overcome this gap, this paper provides some salient examples of emotional intelligence together with an explanation concerning how this construct is conceptualized by modern researchers. Finally, a summary of the research and important findings concerning emotional intelligence are provided in the conclusion.
The concept of emotional intelligence was first proposed during the early 1990s and the concept has since been refined to include subsequent research (Richburg and Fletcher 32). According to the definition provided by Richburg and Fletcher, emotional intelligence is "a type of social intelligence that involves the ability to monitor one's own and others' emotions, to discriminate among them, and to use this information to guide one's thinking and actions" (32). Salient examples of emotional intelligence can be related to the concept's five constituent domains as follows: (a) knowing one's emotions (widely regarded as the key to emotional intelligence), (b) managing emotions, (c) motivating oneself, (d) recognizing emotions in others, and (e) handling relationships (Richburg and Fletcher 33).
Other attributes of the emotional intelligence concept extend to other areas...
For instance, Wirth and Gansle (2012) report that, "Important aspects of emotional intelligence are self-awareness, the ability to communicate and influence, commitment, and integrity" (88). Applying these attributes in real-world business settings can therefore provide useful examples of the emotional intelligent construct, but it is also important to note that there have been some legislative initiatives in recent years that control how assessment of emotional intelligence are conducted in the workplace. In this regard, Wirth and Gansle advise that, "Emotional intelligence assessments fall under the purview of the Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures issued pursuant to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as well as other anti-discrimination and privacy laws" (88).
Notwithstanding these legal considerations, there is a growing consensus that emotional intelligence is an essential component of leadership success, and that both transactional and transformational leaders exhibit these attributes (Pearman 69). For instance, Pearman reports that an emotional intelligence is characterized by an "empathetic concern of others, tolerance for the stress embedded in the situation, and [the ability to] remain optimistic about the future" (70). Taken together, it is clear that emotional intelligence differs from individual to individual, but…

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
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.

The first point addressed by Clark's review determines that a fundamental change in medical perspective had begun to transpire with the assumption of varying clinical research investigations on the subject. This would contribute to what Clark identifies as a major shift in the way that physicians had begun to perceive and treat terminal illness. As opposed to a cut and dry preparation of the patient for the certainty of death,
Replies to Jesse and JoeJesseI agree this was probably an easy decision to make on the part of the government; however, one also has to understand the needs of firemen and use social and emotional intelligence in handling a situation like this (Levitats & Vigoda-Gadot, 2020). If the firemen are all upset by the decision of the government, they might quit and that could put the entire town into danger.
