2. The ability to Understand the needs and feeling of
oneself and other people. Manage one’s own feeling.
Respond to others in appropriate ways.
The capacity for recognizing our own
feelings and those of others, for motivating
ourselves, and for managing emotions well •“Being nice”
in ourselves and in our relationships. •Letting feelings
hang out”
3. Emotional Intelligence, also called EI and often measured as an
Emotional Intelligence Quotient (EQ), describes an ability, capacity,
or skill assess, and manage the emotions of one's self, of others, and
of groups.
A form of social intelligence that involves the ability to
monitor one’s own and other’s feelings and emotions, to
discriminate among them, and to use this information to guide one’s
thinking and action.
5. Ability EI model
Mixed models of EI
Trait EI model
6. The ability-based model views emotions as useful
sources of information that help one to make sense of
and navigate the social environment.
The model proposes that
individuals vary in their ability to process information
of an emotional nature and in their ability to relate
emotional processing to a wider cognition. This ability
is seen to manifest itself in certain adaptive behaviors.
7. The model claims that EI includes four types of
abilities:
Perceiving emotions :
Using emotions :
Understanding emotions :
Managing emotions :
8. The model introduced by Daniel Goleman focuses
on EI as a wide array of competencies and skills
that drive leadership performance.
9. Self-awareness – the ability to read one's emotions and
recognize their impact while using gut feelings to guide
decisions.
Self-management – involves controlling one's emotions and
impulses and adapting to changing circumstances.
Social awareness – the ability to sense, understand, and react
to others' emotions while comprehending social networks.
Relationship management – the ability to inspire, influence,
and develop others while managing conflict.
10. Trait EI refers to an individual's self-perceptions of their
emotional abilities. This definition of EI encompasses
behavioral dispositions and self perceived abilities and is
measured by self report, as opposed to the ability based
model which refers to actual abilities, which have proven
highly resistant to scientific measurement.
Trait EI should be investigated within a personality
framework.
An alternative label for the same construct is trait emotional
self-efficacy.

12. The inability to notice our true feelings leaves us at their
mercy.
People with greater certainty about their feelings are better
pilots of their lives and have a surer sense about how they
feel about personal decisions.
Stay open to our
emotional experience--
can we tolerate the entire bouquet?
Self-awareness
13. To recognize appropriate body cues and emotions
To label cues and emotions accurately
To stay open to unpleasant as well as pleasant
emotions
Includes the capacity for experiencing and recognizing
multiple and conflicting emotions
Emotional Self Awareness
14. Self regulation
EI is like a smoke alarm--we’re not good at influencing
whether a particular emotion will arise. EI tells us
something is arising.
We do have tremendous individual variability in the degree
to which we can consciously limit the duration of
unpleasant emotions and the degree of influence over the
behaviors which may arise.

Managing one’s own emotions
16. As a person matures, emotions begin to shape and
improve thinking by directing a person’s attention to
important changes, (e.g., a child worries about his homework
while continually watching TV. A teacher becomes concerned
about a lesson that needs to be completed for the next day. The
teacher moves on to complete the task before concern takes over
enjoyment.
self motivation
17. Empathy is the ability to recognize another’s emotional
state, which is very similar to what you are
experiencing.
In research on married couples, empathy appears to
include matching the physiological changes of the
other person.

19. To excel at people skills means having and using the
competencies to be an effective friend, negotiator,
and leader.
One should be able to guide an interaction, inspire
others, make others comfortable in social situations,
and influence and persuade others.

Another way to express the framework comes directly from Goleman’s work (available from www.eiconsortium.org ) is: Personal Competence Self-Awareness emotional awareness accurate self assessment self-confidence Self-Regulation self control trustworthiness conscientiousness adaptability innovation Self-Motivation achievement drive commitment initiative optimism Social Competence Social Awareness empathy service orientation developing others leveraging diversity political awareness Social Skills influence communication leadership change catalyst conflict management building bonds collaboration and cooperation team capabilities
Interesting to note; there are gender differences here. Females experience a greater range of intensity in emotions. More of these differences will be covered later, too.
Alexithymia = when self awareness is impoverished. There are no words for emotion. There is difficulty in distinguishing between emotions. There is impoverished capacity for emotions. Also, this person is likely to be overly concerned about physical symptoms. Reference Taylor, G. J., et. al. (1991.) The alexithymia construct: A potential paradigm for psychosomatic medicine. Psychosomatics, 32, 153-164.

Quickly relate the social relationships and managing emotions in others topic to Office of Personnel Management Executive Core Qualifications (ECQ’s) and to Army Values as exemplified by FM 22-100; leadership; duty; respect; selfless service; honesty; integrity; personal courage. This ground will be covered more thoroughly in a later slide dealing with organizations and EI.
Making criticism constructive is an example. See Weisinger, H. Ph.D. (1998.) Emotional intelligence at work. San Francisco: Jossey-Bass.
The nice personality is one of the dangers in creating an EQ instrument--empathy can be faked.
Recent research explores abuse-driven brain changes. In the relation between early abuse and dysfunction of the limbic system; Patients with abuse scored higher on a temporal lob epilepsy-related symptoms checklist; patients with sexual abuse scored significantly higher yet. Maltreatment before age 18 has more impact than later abuse; males and females were similarly affected. Researchers hypothesize that adequate nurturing and the absence of intense early stress permits brains to develop in a manner that is less aggressive and more emotionally stable, social, empathic and hemispherically integrated (75.)

In “ differentiating between emotion and the need to take action” add two subcomponents: promoting action in response to sadness/depress inhibiting action in response to anger/hostility “ Gut feelings” are somatic markers. A neurobiological understanding of how unconscious and conscious use of “gut feelings” can effectively guide decisions. Could this be the essence of wisdom?
