Essay Title:

Emotional Intelligence – Its Validity, Reliability and Utility in Coaching Interventions

(This introduction should be a critical review of EI as a construct/theory)

Focus on cover:
• What is emotional intelligence – start with Salovey and Mayers original definition ……then move onto Goleman, Reuben’s and others.., including more current definitions.
• What are the different definitions of Emotional Intelligence and how do they differ from each other?
• Ask the question can EI actually be measured?
• Look at the different researchers views on this.
• Also, look the researchers assumptions around Emotional Intelligence and critique these e.g. is there an assumption that good leaders have high EI? Is always the case – use current evidence to discuss (peer review articles) – look at research that disputes the assumptions – evidence based i.e. peer-reviewed articles?
• Explore other assumptions around EI and dispute them with evidence (reference)
