  • Title: Integrating Emotional Intelligence with Other Competencies for Effective Communication and Leadership in Public Sector Agencies: A Comparative Case Study Analysis

    Capstone Topic – Why is Emotional Intelligence important for effective communication and leadership, and how can it be integrated with other competencies for achieving holistic growth and success?
    Emotional Intelligence is a crucial component of effective communication and leadership. While some may argue that it detracts from the importance of technical skills, a balanced approach that integrates EI with other competencies is necessary for achieving holistic growth and success.
    Feedback from the professor – One way to approach this topic is to narrow it to the impact of emotional intelligence on communication practices. For example, you can do a systematic review of the literature focusing on the impact of emotional intelligence on communication. The systematic review will only include only articles focused on emotional intelligence and its effect on communication. The methodology focuses on the systematic review, which is just an expanded literature review on the topic. However, in the methodology section, we will analyze the articles for common themes. Please narrow EI and communication to a case study or comparative case study where you can compare outcomes of two public sector agencies, one of which may have introduced EI concepts to improve communication and one that did not.
    Please review the professor’s comments and address the capstone topic above accordingly.
    PLEASE READ THE attached PowerPoint for more information detailed information on the components of the introduction
    As indicated in the outline provided, the introduction has several parts. They are again provided below:
    Please make sure you address each part and provide proper APA referencing
    · Provide background information and relevance of the topic to your field.
    · State the research question or thesis statement.
    · Provide the problem statement. What is the resolution to the problem?
    · What theory is supporting your work?

  • Case Brief: Rael v. Cadena (1979)

    You have no doubt seen the ways in which the Supreme Court made decisions that brought about significant change for the entire country. It is also true that the Supreme Court makes decisions that affect public administration and public policy.
    For this assignment, you will focus on how case law both guides and affects public policy.
    Begin by researching a Supreme Court case of interest to you and pertaining to an oral argument. The Oral Argument 2.0: October 2019 TermLinks to an external site. website offers a list of recent cases you might want to consider.
    Then, using your chosen case, write a case brief. Consult the Briefing CasesLinks to an external site. website for further explanation of what a case brief is and what the steps are to writing one. You should also review How to Write a Case Brief [PDF] and take a look at the following example case briefs:
    Case Brief Example 1 [PDF].
    Your case brief should be 2–3 pages and include the following:
    Provide a caption identifying your case and brief.
    Identify the facts of the case.
    State the procedural history of the case.
    Identify the issue in question.
    State the holdings in your own words.
    Describe the court’s rationale for each holding.
    Explain the final disposition.
    Include other opinions.
    Rael v. Cadena, 93 N.M. 684, 604 P.2d 822 (Ct. App. 1979)
    Parties
    Eddie Rael, Plaintiff-Appellee
    Emilio Cadena and Manuel Cadena, Defendants-Appellants
    Prior Proceedings
    Eddie Rael sued Emilio and Manuel Cadena for civil battery. The trial court, sitting without a
    jury (bench trial), found Emilio jointly liable with Manuel for the battery.
    Emilio appealed the judgment of the trial court.
    Facts
    While visiting Emilio Cadena’s home, Eddie Rael was beaten by Emilio’s nephew, Manuel
    Cadena. After the attack began, Emilio yelled to Manuel “kill him!” and “hit him more!” Emilio
    never actually struck Rael nor physically participated in the battery. Rael was hospitalized as a
    result of the beating.
    Issue
    Under New Mexico tort law, does liability for battery arise when an individual, present during
    the battery, encourages the perpetrator of the battery by yelling “kill him” and “hit him more,”
    thus inciting the perpetration of the battery, though he takes no actual part in the physical
    beating?
    Rule
    Yes. An individual may be liable for battery by encouraging or inciting the perpetrator by words
    or acts.
    Analysis/Reasoning
    The rule of law in the United States is: Civil liability for assault and battery is not limited to the
    direct perpetrator, but extends to any person who, by any means, aids or encourages the act.
    The act of verbal encouragement at the scene may give rise to liability because the perpetrator
    is goaded and encouraged at the behest of the person encouraging the battery. Here, Emilio
    encouraged Manuel to beat Rael and to continue to beat him. The battery may not havePAD525

    occurred or continued but for Emilio’s encouragement. Therefore, Emilio had some part in the
    beating even though he never physically contacted Rael. Thus, Emilio is liable for the battery for
    aiding in its commission and encouraging the act.
    Conclusion (holding/disposition)
    The judgment against Emilio Cadena is affirmed.
    Note: Notice the use of the IRAC format in the outline; also notice the use of here…/because…
    in the analysis. Although you may not understand why now, it is invaluable when taking exams
    to learn to analyze cases in this manner. Do not worry if you do not fully understand these
    concepts now. You will be learning these strategies during your first year in legal research/
    writing and the substantive classes.
