I think that the Army’s Leadership Requirement Model incorporates emotional intelligence, however I do not believe that the Army’s Leadership Requirement Model is fully based on emotional intelligence. The attributes of character and presence correlate with emotional intelligence, while the competencies of leads and develops correlate as well.
The attribute character relates to the emotional intelligence component of self-awareness and empathy because one’s personality and actions affects how they work themselves and how they affect others.
Presence relates to all five components of emotional intelligence as a leader needs to be self-aware of their presence and that the way they present themselves affects others actions and others perceptions of them. For example, people tend to follow and listen to confident leader as opposed to an unsure leader, because the confident leader seems more reliable and self-assured of their decisions.
 The competency leads relates to the emotional intelligence components of motivation, empathy, and social skill. All of those components fall under the ability to manage relationships with others, which is essentially what leading is. To carry out the Army competency of leads, one needs to build trust with others, influence others, and communicate. With emotional intelligence motivation is a way to influence others, empathy is a way to build trust, and social skill is successfully communicating.
 Develops encompasses all of the components of emotional intelligence: self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skill. Develops is a competency that the Army focuses on a lot. The Army strongly fosters an environment where leaders are given the opportunities to constantly grow and develop others along the way. The stages of developing are all included in the emotional intelligence components. I believe that develops is the most closely associated Army Leadership Requirement to emotional intelligence.

 Measuring emotional intelligence would be a difficult task. In order to measure it, it would need to be based off of how successful of a leader one is. To measure someone’s success, it would have to be based on how well they lead others, such as, do people listen to them and look up to them. It would also have to be based on how confident they are with themselves, how well they are developing and influencing others, and as a end result, what are they achieving, what results are they getting with their peers and their soldiers. Emotional intelligence is something that is certainly used in the U.S. Army but it is not something used unanimously. I think that it would benefit the Army if this model was used more collectively, as emotional intelligence involves more self management skills along with managing relationships with others, compared to what the article calls “threshold capabilities” that focus strictly on IQ technical skills.
