"No creature can fly with just one wing. Gifted leadership occurs where heart and head – feeling and thought – meet. These are the two wings that allow a leader to soar."
What I get from this quote is, to be a successful leader one must have balance of emotion and intelligence. How we express this in class is EQ and IQ. To have a better understanding of EQ its the field of the heart.. the emotional relationsh you have with that field and teh people in the field youre working with. To have passion for what you do and experience in that field and not let one override the other is how you could be the "gifted leader" Goleman speaks of. You need both of those wings.
You were off to a good start here, Kevin, but left out some of the necessary analysis. I like how you presented the IQ EQ piece, but what is EI based on what we have discussed in class. How does one become more self aware? What does it mean to manage your own emotions? What role do empathy and social skill play in emotional intelligence? With some more details on these points, you would have had an excellent post!
