Business Professor's Paper Won Awards at International Conference
Posted on Friday, March 27, 2009
Dr. Jacque King, Westminster College assistant professor of business, won two awards for a paper he presented at the Association of Management/International Association of Management conference in October in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
King's paper, "Emotional Leadership through Emotional Intelligence: High Achieving Leaders Do It; Low Achieving Leaders Don't," recently received awards for "Best Paper - Leadership Article" and "Platform Skills in Presentation." Leadership was one of four paper categories at the 81-paper conference.
"My paper links emotional intelligence to successful, high achieving leaders," King said. "High achieving leaders make followers the best they can be, while low achieving leaders make themselves the best they can be. I conclude that leaders should be other-focused rather than self-focused in order to make the organization and the people who work in it the best each can be."
King, who has been with Westminster since 2006, earned an undergraduate degree from Washington and Jefferson College and M.B.A. and Ph.D. from Regent University.
