Emotion on leadership

Emotional intelligence, a concept associated with the leadership by GOLEMAN, BOYATSIS and MCKEE (2002), points to a range of skills such as identify, distinguish and use your own feelings and those of others, to guide the thoughts and actions. According to CUNHA and REGO (2009, p. 240), "emotional intelligence is an ability (or a set of skills) of great relevance in the various fields of human and social life" and reflects "the capacity to balance emotions and reason", i.e. "to use emotions to facilitate the reason" and also "think smartly about the emotions". The leadership depends on the emotional relationship that is established with the other. How the leaders manage and lead feelings so that the Group achieves its objectives, depends on emotional intelligence. The leader, either by position or influence, can establish positive behavioral attitudes on how to generate emotions and relationships. The strong leadership development processes are focused on emotional and intellectual learning and build it up on active participatory work: learning in action and in coaching, where people use what they have learned to diagnose and solve real problems of their organizations.
