Leaders need to demonstrate competence with interpersonal skills if they are to be effective. Handling conflict and showing emotional intelligence are two key aspects of interpersonal skills detailed in your text. How does showing emotional intelligence impact a leader’s ability to handle conflict?

What will be an ideal response?


People typically do not like change and the uncertainty that comes with it, thus conflict can be a natural result of dealing with change. Being emotionally intelligent enables leaders to not only understand their own emotions when dealing with change, but to be aware of the emotions of others, and how emotions of both the leader and follower play into the situation at hand. If the leader is better able to manage an emotion-laden environment, chances are they will be able to defuse any conflict that arises.
