“Emotional Intelligence and Forgiveness in Public Sector Leadership” “Empathy and Forgiveness: Managing Relationships in the Public Sector with Emotional Intelligence”

Assignment – The Four Components of Emotional Intelligence and Forgiveness Instructions:
Individuals who work as leaders in the public sector understand the significant issues that affect public sector leadership, e.g., administration changes, fraud, waste and abuse, media storms, and union-management relationships.
The emotional intelligence paradigm provides the ability to understand and interpret one’s emotions and those of others and respond appropriately. Emotional intelligence (EQ) combines self-awareness (understanding oneself) and empathy (the ability to feel and understand what others are feeling). High emotional intelligence is increasingly recognized as necessary in organizations because of the growing complexity of society and the variety of stakeholders that must be communicated effectively.
This assignment focuses on the following quadrants of Emotional Intelligence and asks you to reflect on them as a public sector institution leader. Self-awareness: Making sound decisions requires an individual to understand how their behavior affects judgment, productivity, attitudes, and more. The best leaders are self-aware of their emotions, weaknesses, limitations, and strengths. For example, a manager who isn’t a good delegator but is self-aware of that shortcoming can consciously delegate tasks more and trust the people to whom those tasks have been assigned. Internal awareness isn’t eliminating emotions from decisions but rather allowing them to work with rationality so they don’t subconsciously affect judgment. Self-Management: Leaders who make impulsive decisions or fail to control their emotions and lash out can quickly lose their subordinates’ respect. Those unregulated moments can undo any rapport you’ve built — and getting it back is never easy. Emotional intelligence breeds self-regulation that prevents moments individuals wish they could take back. Increased empathy: Emotional intelligence argues that emotionally intelligent individuals understand their emotional states better, allowing them to gauge others’ emotions more accurately. We learned empathy in this course, which places us in our employees’ shoes, leading to more thoughtful and deliberate decisions. Collaborative communication: Emotional intelligence allows individuals to understand their coworkers. As such, emotionally intelligent leaders can immediately pick up the room’s tone or group and speak honestly and sincerely to match that tone or mitigate unresolved tension.
Forgiveness: Emotional Intelligence provides individuals with the capacity to forgive their coworkers. Forgiveness is a multidimensional phenomenon that involves a person’s thoughts, actions, and feelings in which resentment toward a wrongdoer is decreased. The wronged person does not deny their right to their feelings but actively regards the wrongdoer with compassion, kindness, or love. This assignment asks you to reflect on the following questions.
This assignment is assessed in the course and gives us an understanding of your perspectives on the four quadrants of Emotional Intelligence. Leaders must understand how their emotions and actions affect the people around them to be effective. The better a leader relates to and works with others, the more successful they will be. Please answer each question below. There are no “right or wrong” answers. There is no minimum length required. This assignment demonstrates an understanding of self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and organizational relationships.
