Emotional Intelligence (EI) has become a popular theory. Some researchers suggest leadership is emotional; therefore, Emotional Intelligence Theory and Leadership go hand in hand.

Research at least one individual who has a contrarian (opposing) view of EI. In other words, find a person who does not believe EI is a legitimate theory. Give a brief overview of why they do not believe it is illegitimate. Then provide your personal view, thoughts, and considerations on whether you buy EI theory or if you agree with the contrarian view. You should have two sections (Section 1 – Contrarian view and explanation; Section 2 – Your personal reflection whether you buy EI theory or if you agree with the contrarian view). Support your view based on the research you conduct. This is not merely your opinion without research.

This is not a discussion post but a formal paper. Therefore, it should be well-written, correct grammar, appropriate punctation, following APA format.  The paper should be a least 300 words and double-spaced. Please submit Word document.
