Emotional Intelligence and Marine Corps Leadership

Abstract

Emotional Intelligence is a leadership ability long neglected by the United States Marine Corps. While psychologists, Fortune 500 executives, and leaders in communities across the United States enjoy the benefits of employing and training management teams with high levels of Emotional Intelligence, the United States Marine Corps has failed to participate in Emotional Intelligence training because of the empathetic aspect of emotional training. In my paper, I explain the Emotional Intelligence theory, as defined by Daniel Goleman. In addition, I discuss civilian implementation of Emotional Intelligence training, the possible ways in which the United States Marine Corps could introduce Emotional Intelligence training, and finally, the resistance some Marines may feel towards Emotional Intelligence training.
