Are You Seeking With Your MGT601 Dynamic Leadership Assignment ?

Task 

Emotional intelligence (EI) is a critical skill in the workplace. In this assessment students will have the  opportunity to demonstrate their understanding of the impact of their own personal EI competencies, in  decision making by analysing a real-life scenario and providing recommendations for how it best be  handled. 

Scenario 

You are a manager at a software development company. Your friend Sarah, a project manager, has been  tasked with launching a new product line. She faces an issue with Steven, a middle-aged senior software  engineer who has been struggling with a personal issue that has been affecting his work. He has been  coming in late, missing deadlines, and seems generally disengaged. Sarah has tried to talk to him about it,  but he has been evasive and defensive.  

Sarah is ambitious and has an enviable reputation for getting results. She’s never missed a deadline, and  while some find her ruthless, most admire her strength. 

Steven has been with the company for a very long time. He was the second employee ever hired by the  company and has been through all the highs and lows that a successful start-up experiences. He has  foregone opportunities to work for other companies (for a much higher salary) because he really  appreciates the culture of the workplace that he has played a significant role in creating. 

Sarah has turned to you for guidance and advice. 

Specifically, you should: 

1. Summarise the advice you would give to Sarah to enable her to engage with Steven in an  emotionally intelligent style. 

2. Provide an analysis of your own Genos results and identify which of your competencies would  support or hinder this approach if you were in Sarah’s situation. 

3. Using the resources and readings provided in this subject, what do you most need to learn or develop  to enhance your emotional intelligence for effective leadership, and how might you go about doing so. 

Please submit a copy of your Genos report when you upload your completed assignment submission to  Blackboard.
