If we want a team to work together for one aim, we need a wise leader to lead and manage the whole team. My personal leadership vision is that use the knowledge about the leadership when I lead a team, and let the team works harmoniously and efficiently for the same aim by using different leadership techniques. Controlling my emotion and my team’s emotion is my first leadership goal. My second leadership goal is leading my team with courage. Being a successful leader is a challenge to me in my future career, and I want to overcome it. yolandaxu19960201 https://padlet.com/yolandaxu19960201/1zmonvcha6oa/wish/159551974 2017-03-13 01:42:17 UTC https://padlet.com/yolandaxu19960201/1zmonvcha6oa/wish/159551974 Leading a person or a team to be successful; a leader is not only need the cognitive intelligence, but also the emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence refers to a person’s abilities to perceive, identify, understand, and successfully manage emotions in self and others. (Richard, The Leadership Experience, p.g. 146) High level of emotional intelligence can help us to manage ourselves effectively. Emotion will affect people’s working performances and relationships easily. My first leadership goal is to control my emotion and my team’s emotion to the positive side. yolandaxu19960201 https://padlet.com/yolandaxu19960201/1zmonvcha6oa/wish/159552124 2017-03-13 01:43:51 UTC https://padlet.com/yolandaxu19960201/1zmonvcha6oa/wish/159552124 Here are my action strategies for being an eligible leader with a high level EQ. If I am a leader of a team, I will try to understand my team members’ emotion and lead them to be positive when they work as a team. People’s emotion will be affected by the external factors easily, such as their family, workplace or health. I will try to ask them the reason why my team members have negative emotion firstly. And then, I will try my best to help them to solve the problems. Emotions are contagious, one team member’s negative emotion will spread out to the entire team. yolandaxu19960201 https://padlet.com/yolandaxu19960201/1zmonvcha6oa/wish/159552261 2017-03-13 01:45:04 UTC https://padlet.com/yolandaxu19960201/1zmonvcha6oa/wish/159552261 Otherwise, I will also tell them that they need to divide their personal emotion and teamwork emotion clearly when they work. However, I also need to manage and control my own emotion when I lead a team. My personal emotion will also affect my team’s emotion. If I feel angry or sad because of some personal reasons, I might treat my team members without the patient, unequal and sane. Therefore, I need to solve my personal problem firstly, and then manage and work with my team efficiently. A team leader should always keep a team has the positive emotion when they work together. When I can achieve this goal, my team member will glad to share their problem and happiness to me. I will also understand what they think immediately, and we can work hard for our aim together tacitly. yolandaxu19960201 https://padlet.com/yolandaxu19960201/1zmonvcha6oa/wish/159552375 2017-03-13 01:46:05 UTC https://padlet.com/yolandaxu19960201/1zmonvcha6oa/wish/159552375 My second leadership goal is leading a team with courage, my biggest problem is no confident and courage to lead the others. Courage is the mental and moral strength to engage in, persevere through, and withstand danger, difficulty, or fear. Courage doesn’t mean the absence of doubt, confusion, or fear, but the ability to act in spite of them when it is necessary for the greater good. (Richard, The Leadership Experience, p.g. 180) yolandaxu19960201 https://padlet.com/yolandaxu19960201/1zmonvcha6oa/wish/159552501 2017-03-13 01:47:19 UTC https://padlet.com/yolandaxu19960201/1zmonvcha6oa/wish/159552501 A leader should accept the responsibility, even it is a wrong decision what you make. I will learn how to fix the problem by using enough courage. Although the problem is made by my team member, a leader still need to stand out and admit mine mistake. The leader is the final decision-maker. If I am a team leader, I will have courage to tell my team members what is wrong, what I want and what I encourage. If I want get the truth and success, I must speak out what I expect because a leader’s mind can influence the others easily. I will also fight for the value what I believe it is benefit to my team. Maybe there are risks when I fight for the value what I want, but this is only way to gain the final success. yolandaxu19960201 https://padlet.com/yolandaxu19960201/1zmonvcha6oa/wish/159552690 2017-03-13 01:49:00 UTC https://padlet.com/yolandaxu19960201/1zmonvcha6oa/wish/159552690 An eligible leader should have courage to assume any risk and responsibility on the way to look for the success. When I can leading my team with enough courage, I will be more confident to assume any risks that a leader should confront. My team will also believe me and glad to let me make decisions for them. yolandaxu19960201 https://padlet.com/yolandaxu19960201/1zmonvcha6oa/wish/159552790 2017-03-13 01:49:46 UTC https://padlet.com/yolandaxu19960201/1zmonvcha6oa/wish/159552790 Leadership Emotional Intelligence yolandaxu19960201 https://padlet.com/yolandaxu19960201/1zmonvcha6oa/wish/159553192 2017-03-13 01:52:58 UTC https://padlet.com/yolandaxu19960201/1zmonvcha6oa/wish/159553192 References yolandaxu19960201 https://padlet.com/yolandaxu19960201/1zmonvcha6oa/wish/159553779 1.Emotional Intelligence and Leadership retrieved from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpksAWfWlSo
