emotional intelligence in project leadership

read Preston, G., Moon, J., Simon, R., Allen, S., & Kossi, E. (2015). The relevance of emotional intelligence in project leadership. Journal of Information Technology and Economic Development, 6(1), 16-40.
After reading the article, analyze the following scenarios, and choose one to discuss in your case study paper:
Scenario 1: You are an office manager who has recently moved into a new department. It comes to your attention that there is a member of senior management who has been falsifying expense reports for himself and approving falsified reports for his subordinates, resulting in over-payments to employees.
 Based on your preferred leadership style, what would be the best way to handle this situation?
 What are some effective practices that you would use for leading people and business processes in this situation?
 In this situation, what is your role in the decision-making processes that serve to establish an organizational climate oriented to meet business goals?
Scenario 2: You are a newly hired department director, brought on board to help turn around a struggling department. The members of this department are highly educated and are taking steps to improve the professional development of department members. Despite these efforts, they feel they are underappreciated and lack a voice in the direction that the department is moving. You have leadership experience in a variety of industries, but you have never worked in this specific field.
 Based on your preferred leadership style, how would you proceed in attempting to align the goals of the organization with the goals of the department? (The goals are actually the same for the organization and the department, but the two groups have different concepts on how to achieve them.)
 What are some effective practices that you would use for leading people and business processes in this situation?
 In this situation, what is your role in the decision-making processes that serve to establish an organizational climate oriented to meet business goals?
Scenario 3: As a manager, you have two employees who have a difficult time working together. While nothing specifically unprofessional has been done by either one of them, other team members have expressed concern that the differences between them are causing tension and some other team members are having difficulty performing their work. Some have even gone so far as to say that the situation is causing a hostile work environment.
 Based on your preferred leadership style, how would you handle this situation?
 What are some effective practices that you would use for leading people and business processes in this situation?
 In this situation, what is your role in the decision-making processes that serve to establish an organizational climate oriented to meet business goals? In your case study, be sure to address the following:
 
 
-Begin the discussion by identifying which of the scenarios you chose.
-Include a brief statement as to which of the leadership styles presented in the above article you are most comfortable discussing in front of group of people?
– Explain your top three, in order from most like you to least like you, and explain why you chose them.
-Then, answer the questions provided with your chosen scenario.
-Use the information provided in this unit to determine which leadership styles you prefer to use when you are in a leadership position (visionary, coaching, affiliative, democratic, pacesetting, and commanding).
-Then, considering the above points, how would you proceed with handling the chosen scenario? Be sure to follow the guidelines below:
-Be sure to include peer-reviewed sources to support positions/conclusions. You are required to use at least two outside sources beyond the required reading for this unit.
-Be sure that your analysis is highly relevant and informative and remains on topic.
-Accuracy should be strong with close attention to detail in all parts of the assignment. BBA 3651, Leadership 4
-Writing should be clear and concise with solid sentence structure and should be free of grammar, punctuation, and spelling errors.
-Your paper should be at least two pages in length.
-All sources used must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations in APA format.

Blinded by the Light—S.O.L.E.R

In this assignment, you will learn about and practice the skill of effective listening. To do this, you will listen not only with your ears but also with your eyes and body. You will begin to understand the importance of posture and eye contact to the active listening process by practicing this skill and critically analyzing your experience of this practice.

A common acronym among the helping professions for practicing effective listening is S.O.L.E.R. This stands for the following:

  • Squarely face the person.
  • Open your posture.
  • Lean toward the sender.
  • Eye contact maintained.
  • Relax while attending.

Tasks:

It would be a good idea to review the basic attending skills video before you begin this assignment. After you have completed the attending skills video exercises, practice the SOLER skills described above with a partner at home or work. You are to engage in a fifteen-minute conversation where you are primarily the listener. Practice each of the S.O.L.E.R skills. Ask your partner for feedback on how this conversation was different from other conversations you have had with him or her. Next, switch roles. Introduce the concept of S.O.L.E.R to your partner and have him or her try it with you. See what you can observe and compare it to your experience as the listener. The attending skills video has some examples of this type of conversation and follow-up feedback session that should help you better understand what you are being asked to do. Post this feedback and your experience of the conversation to the Discussion Area.

In your response, answer the following questions:

  • Which one of the S.O.L.E.R skills was the most difficult and why?
  • What were the greatest obstacles to listening you found in the exercise? Why?
  • How were your observations and experiences reflective of or contrary to research on active listening that you have found in professional literature?
  • How might you improve your listening skills going forward?

Submission Details post your responses in at least 3–4 paragraphs to this Discussion Area. Your response should rely upon at least two sources from professional literature. This may include the Argosy University online library resources, relevant textbooks, peer-reviewed journal articles, and websites created by professional organizations, agencies, or institutions (.edu, .org, or .gov). Write in a clear, concise, and organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources (i.e., APA format); and use accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation.
