Effective Communication in Coalition Building
In your Developing Nonprofit and Human Service Leaders textbook, there is a discussion of two tools for effective communication in organizations and teams: active listening and emotional intelligence. As related in the text, the concept of emotional intelligence has been gaining attention over the past two decades, with more research and the emergence of tools for measuring emotional intelligence.
In your initial post, discuss how a leader of a multi-organizational team would use active listening and emotional intelligence skills to help move the team forward in a collaborative project. How would the addition of emotional intelligence skills add to the ability to achieve results beyond those that active listening skills or skills as a subject matter expert alone would achieve? Support your post by citing the article by Mathew and Gupta (2015) from the Studies for this unit or by citing other current literature on emotional intelligence.
