The role of emotional intelligence in teams
Business savvy, analytical skills, experience, and vision are all the traits often associated with the best executives and organizational leaders. However, an overlooked quality found in the most successful bosses is perhaps the most critical: emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence (EQ or EI) is the ability to comprehend, control, and develop your own feelings, while also being able to understand and manage other`s feelings. Emotional intelligence can provide the backbone of that understanding that strengthens team building, productivity, morale, and more. Whatever model your workplace follows, emotional intelligence can build better leaders and help prevent employee turnover. Leaders who display and nurture high EQ inevitably become better leaders. Because they understand their coworkers, emotionally intelligent leaders can immediately pick up the tone of the room or group and subsequently speak with honesty and sincerity to match that tone or mitigate unresolved tension.
scene, you can hear Estella bragging about her home and the expensive qualities and decorations in her home. She talks about the interior decorative details from foreign places and how exquisite everything in her home was. She also begins to talk to him in French and obviously Finn is not as culturally inclined to understand French. She also brings up the fact that she has a gardener working at her house doing all of the outdoor work. Finn comes from a family where they do not have money to just waste on a gardener. This shows how she talks without regard to others, and she doesn’t take into account the fact that Finn probably does not understand what she is saying, nor can he relate to things like having people working in the home. She is in her own little privileged world, and does not understand that not everyone is as privileged as she is. Estella also talks to Finn as if she is talking down to him. She does not talk to him with the same regard that she might regard other wealthy individuals with. The last, and most important, cinematic element that was prevalent throughout the movie and this scene sequence is the color green. The color green is such a prominent color in symbolizing wealth, as money is green. In this sequence Miss Dinsmoor is dressed in green head to toe, symbolizing her excessive wealth. Estella is also seen wearing a green skirt. Throughout this scene sequence you can see how the underlying colors can bring to the surface these themes throughout the movie. Money motivates everything that goes on in this movie, and to make it more prominent the directors work to make it obvious that all the characters are wearing green and that the scenes are constantly focused on the color green. In conclusion, these cinematic elements within the film adaptation of Great Expectations reveal many underlying rhetorical meanings. Until being asked to recognize the cinematic elements of the movie, one would not have recognized them, nor would they have been as prevalent. There were 4 important thematic and cinematic elements that bring forth the theme of wealth in the movie: the actor placement, the camera angles, the dialogue, and the color green.
