Leadership & Emotional Intelligence
The results of my top five strengths as a leader from the Gallup assessment included, achiever, communication, positivity, responsibility and woo. Achievers feel they must accomplish something tangible every single day. Responsible leaders feel an emotional connection to follow through on anything they commit to. Communicators use their words to catch people’s interest and bring ideas to life. Positive leaders are generous to praise and quick to smile. Finally, woo, which stands for “winning others over,” is a leadership quality in which one enjoys the challenge of meeting new people and building rapport with them.

EQ Assessment
The TalentSmart EQ test looked at both personal competence and social competence. In the personal competence category, I scored 85/100 on self-awareness and 79/100 on self-management. It appears from the report that my self-awareness is a strength to build on. In the social competence category, I scored a 77/100 for social awareness and 79/100 for relationship management. For social awareness it appears with a little improvement this could be a strength.
Leadership Theory
One of the main concerns at a facility I work at includes a significant amount of new graduate nurses and their lack of trust with their leaders. This lack of trust has caused an unhealthy learning environment and increased mistakes due to new graduates not feeling comfortable approaching their leaders. One of my strengths that I would lean on to help address the concern is my communication. As Gallup stated, one of the four basic needs followers require in a leader includes trust (Rath & Conchie, 2008). For one to gain trust you must be authentic. I would use my communication skills to be open and authentic with others to earn the new graduate’s trust. A theory that I would use to help guide my work would be the Situational Leadership Theory developed by Paul Hersey and Ken Blanchard. In this theory, leaders adapt their leadership style to fit the needs and maturity levels of their followers in different situations (Clark, 2008). It proposes that based on the maturity level of the follower, the leader will use directing, coaching, supporting or delegating, to lead. I believe coaching and supporting would benefit the new graduates.
Lean on Others
Based on my Strength Based Leadership assessment, I need to look to others who have strategic thinking strengths, such as analytical and futuristic qualities. I also need to make sure that my strength as an achiever does not overpower to become an overachiever. I need to make sure that I do not always feel I must be the only one to accomplish the task. I will make sure to use my relationship management strategies, such as to be open and curious (Bradberry & Greaves, 2009), to remember that I am a part of a team, who has their own strengths and contributions, if I take the time to learn about them.
Emotional Intelligence
Emotional intelligence is a valid concept. Initially scientists only focused on intellectual intelligence (IQ) for success, but after a study of one of the leading universities of the world, it was found that graduates in different disciplines, showed no association between their IQ indicators and their subsequent success in careers (Tariq et al., 2020). The researchers were then able to determine that the success of many of these graduates was mainly dependent on level of emotional intelligence. From this same study it was also found that people with high emotional intelligence tend to be more optimistic, satisfied, empathetic, have high self-efficacy and more leadership skills (Tariq et al., 2020). I believe it is crucial to have emotional intelligence as a leader. I would rather have an emotionally intelligent leader than an intellectually intelligent one. I want somebody who possesses the ability to adapt and grow in their leadership styles, who also has empathy and social awareness, to name a few traits.
EQ Assessment Results
After discussing the results of my EQ assessment with my fiancé, we both agreed with my findings, especially the results of my social awareness, which happened to be my lowest score for EQ. After reading one of the first social awareness strategies, my fiancé and I laughed because he knows how terrible I am with names. The first social awareness strategy included greeting people by name, where you not only greet someone by name, but focus on using their name twice in conversation to help you remember their name in the future (Bradberry & Greaves, 2009).
