Download or read book Emotional intelligence Does it really matter written by Phillip Walden Bowen and published by Vernon Press. This book was released on 2019-09-05 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What really is emotional intelligence? This book, aimed primarily at the university academic and those working and/or studying in higher education, seeks to help readers understand the term and the role emotional intelligence plays in education and business. It clearly identifies and critiques the three main models: the ability model (Salovey and Mayer), the mixed Model (Goleman, Bar-On) and the trait model (Petrides and Furnham). It discusses eustress, distress and chronic stress, reflecting on the effects negative types of stress can have on the human body, demonstrating how the modern workplace can lead to burnout. It emphasizes the importance of a healthy work/life balance while acknowledging the demands and pressures placed on organisations to compete within the global marketplace. It also explores how one may understand and process emotions, considering terms such as “learned optimism” and “learned helplessness”. Room for discussion is also given to the influence of bullying and harassment in the workplace and types of therapy that are presently available. It discusses strategies for coping with challenging experiences, providing anecdotes and case studies from university academics. It also considers how personality relates to emotional intelligence and how people cope with challenging experiences. The book delves into the term “intelligence”, showing how theories surrounding the concept have developed over the twentieth century; and it elucidates the link between emotional intelligence and wellbeing. The author discusses the effect stress can have on human telomeres (thus shortening lifespan) and sheds light on the darker sides of human nature, such as the so-called “dark triad” personality traits (psychopathy, narcissism and Machiavellian behaviour). Overall, the book is dedicated to the vital question: “Emotional intelligence: does it really matter?”

Download or read book NO Emotional Intelligence written by No-To-Know Publication and published by N2K Publication. This book was released on 2014-10-04 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do You Have "NO Emotional Intelligence"? What is the biggest thing that controls you? No, it's not your demanding boss or control freak mother-in-law. Look inside and ask yourself, every decision you make...how do you make it and what is it based off of? If you think you make it based on rational-thinking, and that we're all logical creatures...think again! There is something within us older than prehistoric time...it's something called "emotions." Before our higher-thinking brain was developed that makes us intelligent creatures we are today, human-beings were primitive species ruled only by our instinctual nature and emotions. We like to think we are in control of ourselves, our well-being, our success, and our destiny, but somewhere deep down inside is still this outdated animalistic part of our brain that no longer serves us in the present, that overrides our self-control and let our emotions run wild. If our logic were to ever clash with our emotion, emotion would win because it has been around longer. That's why it's so easy to get lazy and not do what you're supposed to do BUT only WHAT you feel like doing WHEN you feel like, as well as easily get emotionally affected when your day has been going so well...until that one person messes it up or some bad news you get, read, or heard, causing your emotions to spin out of control. This is a lack of emotional control, and a lot of us are not in control of our emotions. You're constantly reactive to other people and the things around you, not taking proactive approach in life to what you want, whether success, love, or happiness. Now you know why you don't have a strong grasp over emotions. Whatever you do in this world is to experience emotions, such as entertainments or creating memories from new experiences, and such, it's all about the emotions felt. That's the importance of developing emotional intelligence! Within NO-Series "NO Emotional Intelligence?": What is emotional intelligence exactly? What is it made up of and its components, and why is it important to know these to have better mood and self well-being everyday? * What you need to AVOID to do that is NOT getting you the outcomes you want with other people because you are neglecting their emotions, and how they really feel underneath? * How develop emotional intelligence to have better control over yourself and get things done easily and do what you really want to do in life by controlling your emotions, and not letting your emotions control you? * How to improve empathy with people so they want to be around you because you're somebody they trust and look up to as a person and leader? * How to explore and decipher what your emotions are really telling you, rather than what it may appear, so you know how to go about it and make better life decisions in love or finance? * How to determine and measure your emotional intelligence level? Simple quizzes and tests to better understand yourself and your relationship with people and how to approach things positively. * How to build your own emotional support so you'll always be secure and stable, regardless how people treat you or how tough times are? This is very crucial to have! * Plus, custom practical "how-to" strategies, techniques, applications and exercises to make friends and keep them. ...and tons more.

Download or read book Emotional Intelligence and Cognitive Abilities written by Pablo Fernández-Berrocal and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2016-09-07 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nowadays, not only psychologists are interested in the study of Emotional Intelligence (EI). Teachers, educator, managers, employers, and people, in general, pay attention to EI. For example, teachers would like to know how EI could affect student’s academic results, and managers are concerned about how EI influences their employees’ performance. The concept of EI has been widely used in recent years to the extent that people start to applying it in daily life. EI is broadly defined as the capacity to process and use emotional information. More specifically, according to Mayer and Salovey, EI is the ability to: “1) accurate perception, appraise, and expression of emotion; 2) access and/or generation of feelings when they facilitate thought; 3) understand emotions and emotional knowledge; and 4) regulate emotions to promote emotional and intellectual growth” (Mayer and Salovey 1997, p. 10). When new information arises into one specific area of knowledge, the work of the scientists is to investigate the relation between this new information and other established concepts. In this sense, EI could be considered as a new framework to explain human behaviour. As a young concept in Psychology, EI could be used to elucidate the performance in the activities of everyday life. Over the past two decades, studies of EI have tried to delimitate how EI is linked to other competences. A vast number of studies have reported a relation between EI and a large list of competences such as academic and work success, life satisfaction, attendee to emotions, assertiveness, emotional expression, emotional-based decision making, impulsive control, stress management, among others. Moreover, recent researches have shown that EI plays an important role in the prediction of behaviour besides personality and cognitive factors. However, it is not until quite recently, that studies on EI have considered the importance of individual differences in EI and their interaction with cognitive abilities. The general issue of this Research Topic was to expose the role of individual differences on EI in the development of a large number of competencies that support a more efficient performance in people’s everyday life. The present Research Topic provide an extensive review that may give light to the better understanding of how individual differences in EI affect human behaviour. We have considered studies that analyse: 1) how EI contributes to emotional, cognitive and social process beyond the well-known contribution of IQ and personality traits, as well as the brain system that supports the EI; 2) how EI contributes to relationships among emotions and health and well-being, 3) the roles of EI during early development and the evaluation in different populations, 4) how implicit beliefs about emotions and EI influence emotional abilities.

Download or read book Organizing Words written by Yiannis Gabriel and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-30 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Organizing Words presents a series of essays on some 220 widely used - and much debated - terms in the social sciences, and organization studies. Each essay explores the meanings and uses of the word; and also the controversies they have sparked. The book aims to be a first port of call for students, researchers and scholars who wish to familiarize themselves with these key ideas and use them in their own work. The book is neither an encyclopaedia nor a dictionary, but a thesaurus. As such it combines both the original meaning of a thesaurus as a treasure trove, with its more contemporary characteristics of an accessible and practical resource. Primarily aimed at those interested in social and organizational studies, it will appeal to all those interested in the human sciences. It does not claim to be canonical or all-inclusive, but each entry seeks to enlighten and help, without patronizing or obscuring disagreements and difficulties. The book seeks to be re-assuring without being complacent or 'comfortable', to be authoritative without being doctrinaire, and to be critical without being destructive. Words help us express ourselves, and make sense of our experiences and our actions; and they help us to organize ourselves, our thoughts and our universe. Organizing Words will be an invaluable resource for essay-writing and a useful tool in planning and carrying out projects and dissertations. Most of the entries have been written by Yiannis Gabriel, with 40 essays coming from other experts in particular areas.

As school leaders are becoming increasingly disillusioned with instrumental forms of educational reform, Davies, Brighouse and their contributors offer a new vision of leadership one that is driven by a belief that teaching is about enabling every child to reach their potential, and a conviction that schools should be places filled with joy and optimism in the pursuit of social justice. This inspiration will encourage all our leaders to take their work to a new level.′ - Professor David Hopkins, HSBC iNet Chair of International Leadership, Formerly the Chief Adviser to three Secretary of States In this book, internationally recognized writers on leadership explore what makes leaders passionate about their role and their schools. The contributors show that leadership must move on from the realm of a role or job towards an energy and commitment for enhancing children′s learning and children′s lives. They maintain that passion must be the driving force that moves vision into action, through a range of chapters from internationally known contributors Brent Davies, Tim Brighouse, Geoff Southworth, Chris Day, John MacBeath, Andy Hargreaves, John Novak, Brain Caldwell, and Alan Flintham.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Customer Service Intelligence uses a wide range of management and educational theories to provide different approaches that can be incorporated as part of the customer service trainer's toolkit. Concepts such as: - emotional intelligence - behaviour modification - role modelling - dimensions of procedure and conviviality - expectancy theory - socio-cultural concepts of (service) community - customer service as dynamic 'object' in activity theory - Zen mindfulness all form the basis of training design in different contexts. Some trainers are dealing with new employees in fast food environments, others are retraining engineers in customer service provision as part of a strategic marketing initiative. This book enables the trainer to review the context for training and select the most appropriate approach to take. The training design is thus carefully thought through for maximum impact on the audience. Professionalism in customer service training is essential for the growth of many industries. This complex and challenging task is assisted by these perspectives, recommendations and case studies.
