About this title

Synopsis

Essay from the year 2019 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: A, language: English, abstract: How does a leader see himself or herself? What does he or she perceive about his or her leadership and leadership abilities? The first part of this work briefly discusses different aspects of leaders' cognisance on leadership in general and their own leadership abilities. Afterwards the author considers three motivations that most directly influence a leader's behaviour, discussing the goals behind them, the resulting behaviour and its influence on the leadership style. The final part of this work starts with brief explanations of Emotional Intelligence in leadership and some of the more common models of the leadership process. From these, a model of Integrated Emotional Intelligence (IEI) in the leadership process is developed. Considering the elements of this model, the effects of Emotional Intelligence on leader behaviour and leader communication are explained. The cognisance of leaders on leadership is much influenced by their perception on their own leadership abilities and their motivations. These, however, may turn out to be quite complex and lacking the consideration of the followers' abilities and motivations. Emotional Intelligence in leadership is one concept to enhance leaders' cognisance in this respect.
