 At the tail end of his reply to what I called the "bestial" objection to Utilitarianism, Mill argued, “A being of higher faculties requires more to make him happy, is capable probably of more acute suffering, and certainly accessible to it at more points, than one of an inferior type; but in spite of these liabilities, he can never really wish to sink into what he feels to be a lower grade of existence.” (241-242) One take away point of this argument was to understand Mill as defending the claim that human beings are better off directing themselves at the higher pleasures of the mind and intellect; for only the latter can really make them happy. This is a foundational preference, according to Mill.  However, it became a bit tricky to say WHY Mill thinks humans have it this preference. That is, we made sense of his argument to prove THAT we have this preference (the thought expirment of Socrates vs. The Pig… but WHY does he think we have this preference. We considered some possible answers: PrideA love of liberty and personal independenceA love of power and excitement But we noted that Mill answers differently. He says, we have this preference in virtue of  “a sense of dignity”, which we possess in “some proportion” to our higher faculties (242).

What do you make of this cryptic claim? 

    Emotional Intelligence

    Your post should be three paragraphs.

    For the first paragraph of your initial post complete the following short exercise and answer the question below.

    Use the key words “free emotional intelligence assessment” or  “professional EQ assessment” to search for any free EQ assessment  online. Attempt the assessment and process your results.

    What useful information did you gather about yourself by attempting  this assessment and how will the results help you become a better  leader?

    For the second paragraph of your post, select any ONE of the following bullet points and address all elements of your chosen  bullet point. Select a different bullet point section than what your  classmates have already posted so that we can engage several discussions  on relevant topics. If all of the bullet points have been addressed,  then you may begin to re-use the bullet points with the expectation that  varied responses continue.

    • Kossoff (2016) stated, “The difference between being a manager and  being a leader is simple. Management is a career. Leadership is a  calling” (paras. 4 & 5). Kossoff further says that employees look up  to leaders they can trust, leaders who work for the greater good of an  organization and its people (Para. 8).
      Do you agree with Kossoff’s  analysis? Why? Evaluate what types of individuals make the best leaders.  What attributes, characteristics, values, and behaviors do these  individuals exhibit? Why are the above-mentioned qualities important to  these individuals’ success?

    • E.L. Thorndike coined the term “social intelligence” in 1920. He  referred to social intelligence as “the ability to understand and manage  men and women, boys and girls—to act wisely in human relations” (p.  228).
      Assess whether social intelligence differs from emotional  intelligence. Currently, why is there so much focus on the soft skills  of social and emotional intelligence? Isn’t business more about  profitability, productivity, growth, and efficiency and less about  feelings and rapport? Do social and emotional intelligence fit with  traditional management theories? How? Defend your perspectives.

    • Numerous tests have been developed to measure emotional  intelligence. Although these assessments may provide a relatively  accurate picture of an individual’s current state of emotional  intelligence, no assessment has been known to have a high degree of  predictive validity—the ability to predict an individual’s success based  on the assessment score.
      In reference to the free emotional  intelligence quotient (EQ) assessment you completed at the beginning of  this assignment, evaluate whether your score is an accurate reflection  of your current level of emotional intelligence. Assess whether your  score can predict your future success in any way.

    • Consensus leadership and flat hierarchies are often promoted as  positive ways to enhance collaboration and creativity in organizations.  However, Leichtling (2004) stated “Consensus leadership and flat  hierarchies are fads that are finally beginning to pass. They are simply  not efficient or effective enough to succeed” (Para. 18). 

       What is your reaction to these differing points of view? Did Leichtling  prove to be right? Assess whether leaders must create consensus within  their organizations. What are the benefits of creating a consensus? What  are the drawbacks for leaders who are unable to create cohesiveness and  shared values within their organizations? Analyze which perspective  communicates a higher understanding of emotional intelligence as it  applies to leadership.

    The final paragraph (three or four sentences) of your initial  post should summarize the one or two key points that you are making in  your initial response.

    Justify your answers with examples and reasoning. Your posting should be the equivalent of 1 to 2 single-spaced pages (500-1000 words) in length.
