Managing Oneself And Emotional Intelligence

· Outside research is not required for this assignment.

Description

The Assignment is based on your reading and analysis of “ Managing Oneself ” by Peter Drucker, on the reading “ What Makes a Leader

” by Daniel Goleman, and on the Goleman videos and class discussion on Emotional Intelligence.

In addition to a requirement for this course, this assignment is designed to be of PERSONAL BENEFIT TO YOU. Therefore, the expectation is that YOUR voice is in the answers.

Your responses will be held in strictest confidence.
