“…72 A total of 36 citations reflect the range of health care settings and providers. Surveys report that physicians' EI competencies vary within 73 and between specialties, 74 and that the level of EI among medical students does not predict specialty choice. 75 Finally, it appears that varying leadership styles evolve during residency training.…”

Objective This review evaluates the current understanding of emotional intelligence (EI) and physician leadership, exploring key themes and areas for future research. Literature Search We searched the literature using PubMed, Google Scholar, and Business Source Complete for articles published between 1990 and 2012. Search terms included physician and leadership, emotional intelligence, organizational behavior, and organizational development. All abstracts were reviewed. Full articles were evaluated if they addressed the connection between EI and physician leadership. Articles were included if they focused on physicians or physicians-in-training and discussed interventions or recommendations. Appraisal and Synthesis We assessed articles for conceptual rigor, study design, and measurement quality. A thematic analysis categorized the main themes and findings of the articles. Results The search produced 3713 abstracts, of which 437 full articles were read and 144 were included in this review. Three themes were identified: (1) EI is broadly endorsed as a leadership development strategy across providers and settings; (2) models of EI and leadership development practices vary widely; and (3) EI is considered relevant throughout medical education and practice. Limitations of the literature were that most reports were expert opinion or observational and studies used several different tools for measuring EI. Conclusions EI is widely endorsed as a component of curricula for developing physician leaders. Research comparing practice models and measurement tools will critically advance understanding about how to develop and nurture EI to enhance leadership skills in physicians throughout their careers.

Irrespective of our life paths, the ability to initiate and sustain effective interactions with others is a key determinant of success and fulfillment. As physicians, we must lead both formally and informally in a variety of roles -in medical systems, clinics and operating theatres. We are often challenged by the stress of practice and the need to achieve balance with family and friends. Conflicts occur on a regular basis hence a level of personal insight is vital to a healthy and productive life.The increased interest in emotional intelligence is supported by a growing compilation of data that demonstrate that enhanced social interactions improve personal performance in a wide range of settings. Boyatzis studied 2,000 supervisors and executives and found that 14 of 16 distinguishing traits for success were emotional not cognitive [1]. Spencer and Spencer defined job competencies in 286 organizations and noted that 18 of 21 competencies associated with high performance were emotionally based [2]. Comparing "star" performers to average performers in diverse industries, Goleman found that emotional advantages were noted twice as frequently in high performers and were a much better predictor of achievement than cognitive superiority [3].In this chapter we will quantify the traits associated with emotional intelligence (EQ), examine the role of EQ in the medical environment, including the differences seen in surgeons, provide insights into the neurobiology of human emotion, address

“…93 This has serious implications for the many physicians conflicted by simultaneous obligations to trust their patients and to relieve suffering without further contributing to drug diversion and the harms of SUD. The medical literature is replete with evidence of the clinical value of emotional intelligence and its positive effect on physician patient relationships, patient outcomes, and physician satisfaction, 94 as well as its contribution to effective medical leadership. 95 In the context of pain, emotional intelligence and empathy are associated with the successful management of patients with multiple chronic problems, such as chronic pain.…”

Prescription opioids are an important tool for physicians in treating pain but also carry significant risks of harm when prescribed inappropriately or misused by patients or others. Recent increases in opioid related morbidity and mortality has reignited scrutiny of prescribing practices by law enforcement, regulatory agencies, and state medical boards. At the same time, the predominant 4D model of misprescribers is outdated and insufficient; it groups physician misprescribers as dated, duped, disabled, or dishonest. The weaknesses and inaccuracies of the 4D model are explored, along with the serious consequences of its application. This article calls for development of an evidence base in this area and suggests an alternate model of misprescribers, the 3C model, which more accurately characterizes misprescribers as careless, corrupt, or compromised by impairment.
