Daniel you made an interesting point when you compared psychodynamic emotional intelligence to that of servant leadership in your blog post:<\/a><\/p>\n

There is a difference between emotional intelligence and servant leadership\u2019s awareness. Mainly that emotional intelligence focuses on looking at and understanding the follower\u2019s emotions and then harnessing those so that the follower can become more productive and effective. Whereas awareness in the servant leadership approach allows the leader to step aside and view themselves and their own perspectives in the greater context of the situation (Northouse, 2019, p. 229).<\/em><\/p>\n

I agree with your view. According to Northouse, the underlying premise of the value of emotional intelligence is that “people who are more sensitive to their emotions and the impact of their emotions on others will be leaders who are more effective” (p. 28). However servant leaders use their awareness of the feelings of others as an opportunity to serve. Not only do they step aside and put the follower’s needs before theirs, they understand the impact that this will have upon others in turn. They know the value of the golden rule: that treating others they way we would want to be treated will in turn give rise to a desire for service on the part of the follower. In the videos this was demonstrated exceptionally well . The employees of Southwest airlines give incredible customer service and the company was rewarded with much success simply because the leaders made it a priority to place their employee’s needs above all else. Ms Barrett and Mr Kelleher translated their awareness of their employee’s needs into direct opportunities for service.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
