Discussion Board Questions

The article "Emotional Intelligence and Leadership Development" in your required unit resources describes the importance of emotional intelligence in leadership and leadership development. How in your view does emotional intelligence apply in the context of project team leadership? What role does it play in the team development process?

Instructions:

The above questions are what my colleagues are responding to.

Assignment:  Read the short student responses to the Discussion board post below.  Please reply to all 4 classmates post using A). at least 50 words or less B). the instructors’ directions.  Please mention the products/goods your classmates used in their responses.

I feel emotional intelligence applies to project team leadership in many ways.  When it comes to leadership, the ability to direct, delegate, organize, prioritize, and manage/oversee many different projects and team members at the same time is important, however I feel that having a high level of emotional intelligence allows the leadership team to recognize other variables to set a team up for success.

When I was reading the material, what kept popping into my head is how everyone is human, and we all have different life situations outside of work that affect us.  Although optimally it's preferred that we don't allow personal issues to affect our work environment, unfortunately it does happen, and depending on what's going on and how a person responds to adversity, it's likely that it will affect their attitude, mood, engagement, and possibly their work production.  Having leadership who makes a conscious effort to look at their employees as more than workers, but as complex human beings whose lives don't revolve around work, can be very beneficial, especially if the employees actually feel that support from leadership, so they are willing to put in more effort, even during difficult times. 

In the team development process, it's key to train staff to personally be self-aware, how to self-regulate, and how to motivate, as well as socially show empathy and have high social skills.  Looking at some of the best supervisors I've worked for over the years, I 100% see how many of them exhibited many of these qualities at high levels and how they put practices in place to encourage their staff to do the same.

Emotional Intelligence is a very great aspect of leadership in general, and the same applies to the leadership of project teams within the organization. Self-awareness is the major building block of emotional Intelligence that plays a critical role in project leadership. Self-awareness assists project team leaders to understand their emotions while working on a project with the team members (Vierimaa, 2013). Also, it helps individuals to be aware of the potential effects of their emotions on the relationships within the team. Since projects compose individuals working together in the team, the leaders need to be aware of the impact they can cause on the team performance when they do not control their emotions. The project's success depends on how the leader handles the team members. When project leaders have good emotional Intelligence, they can gauge the emotions of the team members.

            The team development process requires the input of emotional Intelligence. Emotional Intelligence means that the leader will be empathetic with the team members and thus understand their problems. When that happens, the team members feel a sense of support from their leader, thus being open to putting their best efforts into the project. Also, the team members will be willing to embrace any change that gets initiated by the leader (Vierimaa, 2013). The reason is that the leader understands them, and thus the team members feel a sense of security and openness in doing their work. Therefore, the general team development process becomes easy due to the support that originates from both the team leader and the members. Emotional Intelligence also gives the team members a framework to work together productively through a shared sense of empathy. The team members thus get to develop through the support of each member.

Discussion Board Question:

 

Provide one example of how the t test could be used to compare means within your work environment or domain of interest, and one example of how ANOVA could be used to compare means within your work environment or domain of interest. Be sure to specify the grouping variable (IV) and the dependent variable (DV) in each example.

Discuss the appropriateness of using the t test versus ANOVA.

Use the same instructions above.

I work for the Air Force as an Item Manager and could use these two tests at work in different ways. I could use the t test to determine the difference between two different groups. The first group would be the individuals that had to take a class (we take it every year online) called force protection and the second group did not take it. I would determine if there was a difference in the two groups based on if taking the class or not taking the class made a difference on whether the individuals sold military secrets. I could also do an ANOVA test to determine if the employees in office A, office B and office C are all receiving the same temperature controlled environment. I could use it to determine if there were any differences in the temperatures of each of the offices.

T-test is a hypothesis test that is used to compare the means of two populations. I work for a company that distributes beverages. One problem that they are currently trying to solve is how to increase the productivity of the warehouse operations. One of the ideas that the supervisors have is if they should invest in riding pallet jacks and get rid of the manual jacks. The productivity is measure by the number of cases are processed each hour. Before spending all of the money to get the new jacks, the warehouse supervisors can run a t test to discover if the new jacks would increase productivity. The test would involve them renting a couple of riding jacks to be used during one shift. They would collect the number of cases processed in one hour (dependent variable) get just a few and have one shift use the new jacks and another shift use the old jacks (grouping variables). They can compare the difference in productivity to discover if it would be worth the investment.

The ANOVA is a statistical technique that is used to compare the means of more than two populations. The ANOVA test would be appropriate if the warehouse managers wanted to try out multiple different grouping variables to increase production. This could be testing a group that uses the old pallet jacks, a group that uses riding pallet jacks, or a group that just has increased staffing levels.

 

T testing is best used for testing only 2 variables. ANOVA is best for testing multiple variables
