Abstract

This research explores the impact of Emotional Intelligence (EI) on enhancing leadership effectiveness. It delves into how EI competencies contribute to leaders' abilities to manage teams, make strategic decisions, and foster positive work environments. The psychologist Daniel Goleman progressed the work of Mayer and Salovey by researching the importance of emotional intelligence in leadership. He suggested that although an individual’s IQ and technical skills are important, you should not progress to an executive position unless you have a high level of emotional intelligence. By reviewing existing literature, conducting surveys, and analysing case studies, this study aims to clarify the role of EI in leadership and provide insights into how EI can be leveraged to improve leadership outcomes across various sectors. Developing Emotional Intelligence in Leaders
Emotional intelligence is a crucial component of effective leadership. Leaders with high emotional intelligence are better equipped to manage their own emotions and connect with the emotions of those around them. Developing emotional intelligence in leaders is essential for creating a positive work environment and achieving organizational goals.
