Discussion: Emotional Intelligence and Workforce Motivation

Emotional intelligence (EI) is defined as the ability to recognize, understand, and manage our own emotions and to recognize, understand, and influence the emotions of others. Assessments are available to help individuals better understand their EI. The score from one of these assessments is called the emotional intelligence quotient, or EQ. The EQ is key to outstanding leadership in that it helps promote self-awareness, helps one be more authentic, and helps drive organizational performance.

The theoretical underpinnings of motivation are also important for healthcare leaders to grasp in order to manage the healthcare workforce, no matter what setting. Motivational theories tend to focus on the functions of employee needs, intrinsic, and extrinsic factors.
