How might a manager use personality traits to improve employee selection in his department? Emotional intelligence?

I think that there can be many components to this
equation.  A manager could develop a questionnaire, complete with situations where
emotional and personality traits are evident in answers and judge them with what is
being sought and what is given.  This could be the same in an spoken word session.  I
think that a manager has to be careful to a certain extent.  I am not certain that the
workplace is made better if everyone has the same level of emotional intelligent
quotient.  Emotional frames of reference are so complex and so intricate that it is
important to allow as many emotional frames of reference as possible.  The situations
that will confront managers and organizations are equally varied and complex, ensuring
that a wide range of emotional sensitivities are needed in order to fully address and
account for what is present.  Managers that limit their searches to only one emotional
response might not be best suited for what lies ahead.  Employing qualified employees
who as a unit feature a wide variety of emotional responses might be best suited for all
that lies ahead for any organization or business.
