Emotional intelligence (EQ) is crucial for today’s leaders. In fact, studies now show us that EQ accounts for 60% of job performance for supervisors through CEOs and 90% of top performers are high in EQ (Bradberry & Greaves, 2009). In this assignment, you will learn about your own EQ and develop a plan to increase your own EQ.

Assignments
Part 1:
Complete the courses from Linked In Learning titled “Emotional Intelligence Basics” (1hr. 4 min) by Dr. Nicole Tetrault and “Developing Your Emotional Intelligence” (1 hr.) by Gemma Leigh Roberts and upload your certificate of completion along with your paper. Instructions on creating your Linked In Learning account using your UTHealth email address are provided.
Part 2:
Write a brief paper (3-4 pages, not including title page and references) on your EQ assessment results and the strategies you plan on using to increase your EQ. The paper should address the following points:
- List your overall EQ score.
- Identify two EQ skills that you commit to improving.
- Discuss three strategies for each skill you plan on developing and implementing over the next three to six months.
- Provide an estimated timeline for the implementation of the strategies. The timeline should include what you will do and when you will do it.
- Include how you will evaluate your development of the EQ skills. This should include how frequently evaluations will be completed, how the evaluation will be done, and what evaluation types will be completed.
The document should be in a paper format with a cover page and APA formatting. Since this is your developmental plan, the first person is permitted when writing the paper.
