One of the five elements of emotional intelligence is self-awareness.

What behaviors would someone with strong self-awareness demonstrate within the context of leading and managing groups?

Provide an example.

A leader with strong self-awareness must be able to demonstrate all five elements of emotional intelligence to be able to lead others. I believe that a leader must first have self-awareness. That means that the leader understands what his/her strengths, weaknesses, and emotions. How a leader can manage his/her emotions can make an incredible difference. Emotionally intelligent leaders are self-aware are able to respond to constructive criticism and take a step back if needed (Yoder, 2011). A leader with self-regulation is able to express his/her self with maturity showing a high level of judgement and control. Emotionally intelligent leaders are motivated and driven by a strong inner drive and not by titles. Not only are emotionally intelligent leaders motivated but extremely resilient and optimistic and it takes a lot to make them break. Emotionally intelligent leaders possess empathy, understanding, and compassion which allow them to relate to others. Having empathy allows leaders to connect to others and provide them with excellent service. Emotionally intelligent leaders have people skills. Leaders with people skills understand how others tick. They are able to create rapport and trust with those they depend on and it just happens as second nature. According to Nurse Together, “EI is the ability, capacity and skill to identify, assess and control the emotions of oneself, of others and of groups. This quality plays an important role in nursing success whether they are working in management or at the bed side” (Nursing Together, 2012).
