What happens when leaders are not emotionally intelligent?

(100
words)
When leaders lack emotional intelligence, several negative outcomes can occur.
They may struggle to build trust, resulting in poor relationships with employees
and reduced team cohesion. Without the ability to recognize and manage their
own emotions or those of others, they may make impulsive decisions, respond
poorly to feedback, and fail to resolve conflicts effectively. This can lead to
decreased employee engagement, higher turnover, and lower overall
performance. Additionally, emotionally unintelligent leaders may have difficulty
fostering a positive work environment, ultimately harming organizational culture
and reducing productivity and morale within the team.

consistently associated with effective leadership. These traits, based on a
century of research, would help ensure that the individual is capable of
leading with both competence and integrity.
2. In what ways is the trait approach helpful in this type of selection?
The trait approach is a valuable tool for selecting a leader because it
highlights the key characteristics associated with successful leadership. By
focusing on specific traits, it helps narrow down the pool of candidates,
making it easier to identify the individual most suited for the role.
Additionally, it provides insight into personal qualities that are crucial for
effective leadership, allowing decision-makers to choose candidates whose
traits align with the demands of the position. The approach also serves as a
guide for future development, highlighting areas where a potential leader
might need growth to maximize their effectiveness.
3. In what ways are the weaknesses of the trait approach highlighted in this
case?
The case study demonstrates that relying solely on personality traits to select
a leader is insufficient. It highlights that leadership effectiveness is highly
dependent on the specific situation and the organizational context. While
certain traits, such as intelligence or persistence, may be beneficial, they do
not ensure a leader’s success. Leadership requires adaptability to the needs
of the role, team dynamics, and company goals. This suggests that in addition
to personal traits, factors like situational demands and organizational culture
play a crucial role in determining whether a leader will thrive.
