Dye and Garman (2006) state, \"The most effective leaders have a deeper understanding of their emotion\" (p. 18), in their discussion of emotional intelligence (EI) and why it is important. Over the last several years, organizations that are actively engaged in leadership development have expressed keen interest in understanding EI. Research suggests that EI may be more important than intellectual intelligence in determining leadership success, and leadership development programs may offer better outcomes if EI is better understood (Sadri, 2012). Write a paper that defines and describes emotional intelligence. Additionally, detail the value of EI possession among health care leaders. Provide at least 1 example, real or hypothetical, of how emotional intelligence has been or can be used by effective leaders. References Dye, C., & Garman, A. (2006).
