Inspiring Leaders Through Emotional Intelligence Class Guide- Online

INSPIRING LEADERS THROUGH EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

ONLINE

INSPIRING LEADERS THROUGH EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE In the last two decades, social scientists have developed a greater understanding of leadership. This includes knowledge of both the characteristics of leaders as well as the behaviors they engage in. This knowledge points to one common finding: there is no single best way to lead. Instead, research shows that effective leaders are those who are in tune with their environment and who consistently act in ways that promote a particular point of view.

The actions of leaders, however, are not made up of grand visions and speeches (although these can help). Instead, the actions of leaders tend to be smaller but impactful, they tend to be clear in their intent, and they form a part of a larger vision of the organization’s future.

In this class, we will be covering multiple topics on the nature of social systems. We will cover topics at the individual, group, and organization level of analysis. These topics are frameworks that you can use to understand activities of managers and other leaders in organizations. The objective of the class is to provide you with theoretical frameworks and a common vocabulary to understand and interpret things that happen in organizations.
