“…The cells are populated by 18 component competencies (eg, team orientation, empathy, and optimism) that define EI. The model 10,11 posits that EI, rather than being an inborn trait, is a set of competencies that can be explicitly developed 12,13 to enhance performance. Rather than an ill-defined concept of professionalism or leadership, the EI model is explicit, is teachable, and allows for honest examination and selfreflection to improve leadership skills.…”

Objective This review evaluates the current understanding of emotional intelligence (EI) and physician leadership, exploring key themes and areas for future research. Literature Search We searched the literature using PubMed, Google Scholar, and Business Source Complete for articles published between 1990 and 2012. Search terms included physician and leadership, emotional intelligence, organizational behavior, and organizational development. All abstracts were reviewed. Full articles were evaluated if they addressed the connection between EI and physician leadership. Articles were included if they focused on physicians or physicians-in-training and discussed interventions or recommendations. Appraisal and Synthesis We assessed articles for conceptual rigor, study design, and measurement quality. A thematic analysis categorized the main themes and findings of the articles. Results The search produced 3713 abstracts, of which 437 full articles were read and 144 were included in this review. Three themes were identified: (1) EI is broadly endorsed as a leadership development strategy across providers and settings; (2) models of EI and leadership development practices vary widely; and (3) EI is considered relevant throughout medical education and practice. Limitations of the literature were that most reports were expert opinion or observational and studies used several different tools for measuring EI. Conclusions EI is widely endorsed as a component of curricula for developing physician leaders. Research comparing practice models and measurement tools will critically advance understanding about how to develop and nurture EI to enhance leadership skills in physicians throughout their careers.

“…Effective student leader practices were found to differ from those of less effective leaders. The researchers noted that this finding was not consistent with findings of a study of leaders in business and public sectors (Posner & Kouzes, 1988) where leaders' self-perceptions were significantly higher than subordinates perceptions of their leaders.…”

“…Descriptive statistics (including means, standard deviations, and frequencies) were calculated for all closed-ended items on the questionnaire. Ratings of behavior statements were summed to create a score for each of the five practices of leadership based on the work of Posner and Kouzes (1988). Scores were computed only when all statements within that leadership practice had been rated.…”

“…The tool was developed originally based on more than 2,500 manager case studies (Kouzes & Posner, 1987) and later validated as a good predictor of leadership behavior and effectiveness (Posner & Kouzes, 1988). The Student LPI (S-LPI), targeted toward students, paralleled the development of the LPI, with the exception of students' personal best stories and follow-up interviews in comparison to managers' (Kouzes & Posner, 2006).…”

The purpose of this paper was to examine the leadership practice scores and leadership behaviors of students before and after an event management course. A mixed methods approach was utilized. The StudentLeadership Practice Inventory (S-LPI) was administered to a sample of 184 students in three semesters of an event management course. Students completed the S-LPI at the beginning and at the end of the course. The students also wrote reflections of their leadership behaviors and learnings.Results of the study showed that students' mean leadership scores increased significantly for all practice areas between pre and post, with the largest increase for Enabling Others to Act (EA). Also, all correlations between pre and post scores were statistically significant, indicating that responses at pre and post followed similar patterns, with students who scored higher on pre also tended to score higher on post. Reflections from students demonstrated significant understanding of effective leadership behaviors and learning. The sample was college students enrolled in an event management course at one university, therefore results may not be generalized to all students. Results of this study suggest that university and college courses can have a very powerful impact on student learning and leadership development. This paper furthers the knowledge base and understanding of students' leadership growth through involvement in a university course as measured by the S-LPI.
