Create a 10 pages page paper that discusses how to manage older workers. This will be followed by a discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of older people working in a workplace and the management of older workers. The paper will finally discuss the effects of older workers on the organization as a whole.

In a report by Todd J. Maurer, Francisco G. Barbeite, the author has dealt with the issue of relationship and job performance. The report has provided a deep and step by step focus on the relationship (Maurer, Barbeite, 2002). The report has clearly shown that there is no clear relationship between job performance and the age of the people. The article clearly shows that the most important aspect of any job is the performance of the person. However, if a person does not perform well, the chances are low for the person to stay on in the same job for a longer time. It is also clear that there is no one way to judge the performance of older or younger people at a job to be compared or to be judged in terms of performance. It would be incorrect to judge a young and older employee based on the tasks that are given to them. There is a high possibility that with bias the older person would have been given a more difficult task than the younger or vice versa. The research also highlights that the relationship between performance and age is a linear one, i.e. with the increase in age, the performance of the individual increases or decreases consistently. The author also explains, ‘that job performance is almost always multidimensional, meaning the work requires more than one important type of behavior or skill for overall success. Thus if some workers focus their efforts on one part of a job and other workers focus their efforts on other parts of a job, their overall performance may be similar, even though they reached the performance level through allocating their efforts differently. If older workers’ abilities or skills decline in one aspect of work, they may focus their efforts on another aspect to achieve the same overall level of success’ (Maurer, Barbeite, 2002).

Hello, I am looking for someone to write an essay on The emotional intelligence competence I most want to develop and why’. It needs to be at least 500 words.

This developed my insight on what competencies constitute emotional intelligence and scopes of the competencies. I then applied the derived knowledge to examine my intelligence potentials.

Based on the literature review and self-evaluation, I identified self-confidence, self-control, and initiative as my top three emotional intelligence competencies. My identified weakest competencies are however adaptability, innovativeness, and communication. This activity was useful in facilitating self-awareness for personal development. Its developmental aspect was based on the activity’s scope that created awareness of elements of different emotional intelligence competencies towards understanding personal competency and the need for improvement.

My identified strength in self-confidence, self-control, and initiative means that I can exercise integrity in managerial or leadership roles within my profession. Even though my weaknesses may challenge my leadership and managerial potentials, I can improve on them to enhance my capacity to lead and manage.

Adaptability is the emotional intelligence competence that I most wish to develop. This is because of its scope that is instrumental to achieving change, a very critical concept in leadership and management. In improving my adaptability competence, I seek the ability to multitask and manage priorities in dynamic environments, and become flexible to people’s responses and my perceptions. I will apply the SMARTER goal as a strategy to making the desired development.

My specific objective is to improve my adaptability competencies. I will measure my competencies through an independent examiner who will evaluate and rate my adaptability potentials on an interval scale. Improving on my adaptability capacity will require financial resources for a qualitative research that aims at understanding people’s strategies to developing and improving their adaptability potentials. The process will also require human
