Discussion:
Emotional Intelligence and Workforce Motivation
Emotional
intelligence (EI) is defined as the ability to recognize, understand, and
manage our own emotions and to recognize, understand, and influence the
emotions of others. Assessments are available to help individuals better
understand their EI. The score from one of these assessments is called the
emotional intelligence quotient, or EQ. The EQ is key to outstanding leadership
in that it helps promote self-awareness, helps one be more authentic, and helps
drive organizational performance.
The theoretical
underpinnings of motivation are also important for healthcare leaders to grasp
in order to manage the healthcare workforce, no matter what setting.
Motivational theories tend to focus on the functions of employee needs,
intrinsic, and extrinsic factors.
For this week’s
Discussion, you will focus on both emotional intelligence and theories of
motivation.
