Goal One: Increasing Emotional Intelligence 

# data[].attributes.body
Heading towards my journey of becoming a successful leader, building a strong emotional intelligence would be valuable because it gives me the ability to recognize and control my own emotions, while controlling emotions appropriately as situations dictate. According to Daft from the leadership experience, a leader’s emotional intelligence can have far-reaching influence over their relationships, how they can possibly manage their teams, and how a leader generates the ability to interact with individuals in the workplace (Daft, 2018, p. 150-156).

The rationale behind increasing my emotional intelligence is because it generates various factors such as;

Ø  Self Awareness: This factor would create a sense of mindfulness towards the strengths that I possess, and would help me understand others, and promote their strength.

Ø  Effective Communication: This factor provides the ability to listen without judgment, keeping my emotions under control, and to ask questions when necessary.

Ø  Authenticity: This factor provides a sense of understanding to my own values and to be consistent in applying them.
Ø  Self Regulation: This factor would help me control my emotions and impulses. If I can increase the level to which my emotions are controlled, it would increase factors such as thoughtfulness, comfort, integrity and the ability to make good decisions

Looking at my growth and future as a leader, my vision is to develop myself to my greatest capacity and to create an environment in which my future followers will thrive and grow to be leaders for themselves. I strive to implement this vision into my personal life as well as my work life to be a person who can be counted on in every way.

Throughout this journey, my goal is to aspire to increase my emotional intelligence and find assess to moral courage and confidence. By doing this, it would provide a solid foundation that I would need to become a successful leader.

Going forward, I would challenge myself to follow through with my goals and to generate new goals as I move forward. Also, knowing that these goals would not be achieved in one day I would be taking each of them as a lifestyle, learning from each failure, and embracing each success without putting too much pressure on myself.

I would also keep in mind that having a good emotional intelligence and exercising moral leadership are goals that balance each other because creating time for self evaluations would allow me to realize how much I have accomplished, and create room for more growth

Action Plan One
Follow the four pillars of moral Leadership: This would be beneficial for me because it would teach me the core values on how to assess moral leadership. By doing that it would generate various factors like; moral authority would be formed, increasing moral development, and would increase leader-follower trust.

Goal Two: Assess to moral Courage and Leadership

According to Daft, practicing moral leadership means learning to build character, understanding one’s strength and weakness, knowing what they stand for, and having an honest self analysis (Daft, 2018, p. 184).

As a growing leader, I am always looking to learn and expand my understanding on how to be a successful leader. Therefore, I have decided to choose to assess moral courage and as my second goal to achieve.

Courage means fighting for valued outcome that benefits the whole (Daft, 2018, p. 183) and as a leader I would like to take risks and apply courage to my moral leadership style.

The rationale behind increasing my moral leadership is because it produces factors like;

Ø  It increases the likelihood for me to find courage

Ø  Would help me learn to develop the capacity of others (Placing others first)

Ø  Increases my level of moral development
