The Role of Emotional Intelligence in Leadership Effectiveness

The aim of this study is to emphasize the role that emotional intelligence plays in leadership. The ability to focus on one’s own emotional state as well as the emotional signals that others are displaying in the dynamic context of an interaction is known as emotional intelligence. Keeping an eye on other people’s and your own emotions during a heated discussion helps you handle that specific circumstance well. Mutual understanding is the best kind of relationship that people can have, and it happens most quickly when one is still conscious of the dynamics of emotional intelligence. The benefits that emotionally intelligent leaders provide to their followers and organisations will be examined in this study.Emotional skills can be used to manipulate other human beings in different situations. Emotional intelligence and leadership are related to each, the extent to which leadership is impacted by emotional intelligence, with the help of extensive theoretical and empirical review of literature. This paper will help to understand the different perspectives of emotional intelligence along with related components and to study the relationship between emotional intelligence and leadership.
