As a business professional, you may encounter situations that require you to apply emotional intelligence in a wide variety of scenarios. For this task, you will act as a consultant and consider a case study that requires you to identify and explain emotional intelligence responses.
Scenario
Refer to Scenarios 1 and 2 in the attached “Corollary Communications Scenarios.”
Requirements
You must use the rubric to direct the creation of your submission because it provides detailed criteria that will be used to evaluate your work. Each requirement below may be evaluated by more than one rubric aspect. The rubric aspect titles may contain hyperlinks to relevant portions of the course.
Tasks may not be submitted as cloud links, such as links to Google Docs, Google Slides, OneDrive, etc., unless specified in the task requirements. All other submissions must be file types that are uploaded and submitted as attachments (e.g., .docx, .pdf, .ppt).

1. Discuss the presence or lack of emotional intelligence in Michael’s decision to establish a new work-from-home policy without soliciting the opinions and experience of other senior leadership team members except the CEO.
2. Discuss the presence or lack of emotional intelligence in Michael’s abrupt dismissal of Anika’s suggestion to physically or virtually meet with each of the senior leaders to review the new policy and ensure their buy-in because it would take too much time, delaying policy implementation.
