|a The purpose of this phenomenological study was to understand the meaning of emotional intelligence for high school principals at public teaching institutions in the Broward County School System. Two groups of participants were used for this study. The first group was the gatekeepers, that is, full-time teachers and assistant principals, and the second group was the primary participants, that is, high school principals. The gatekeepers nominated the high school principals. The ten principals with the highest number of nominations were invited to participate in the study. Data were gathered using in-depth, open-ended interviews to analyze the concepts of emotional intelligence and leadership. Reductive content analysis was used to identify the themes and patterns of the data. Brief biographical and demographic information was also collected from each participant. The results indicated that the principals utilized emotional intelligence as part of their leadership and view it as a necessary component to lead. Learning about emotional intelligence is necessary and important for an individual to become an effective leader. Primary influences for developing emotional intelligence include the following: family; parents, grandparents, and siblings; area of education: other principals and teachers, mentors and coaches; experience: as a result of being placed in leadership positions; and, finally, self-study: reading and learning appropriate materials. Definitions of emotional intelligence included considering and understanding one’s own feelings; developing the ability to read people and relate to others; being aware of oneself and one’s emotions; the ability to deal with all situations; connecting the heart with the brain; and building relationships, trust and culture. |
