Summary

From the Paper:

"Early theorists often remarked that knowledge of and strategizing over the emotions of workers was tantamount to manipulative management practices, and that emotions were to be controlled first by the individual. The beginnings of EI were quite negative, as theorists did not find the link in exceptional performance and positive management approaches to fostering and sustaining strong emotions of achievement, growth and recognition. The first theorists felt that emotions were to be controlled by the individual or he or she would succumb to their influences (Young, 1936; Schaffer, Gilmer & Schoen, 1940)."
