Abstract

Purpose: This study investigates the role of emotional intelligence (EI) in leadership and its impact on building effective teams. It explores how EI competencies influence team collaboration, motivation, and conflict resolution within organizations. Design/methodology/approach: A survey of 100 professionals assessed leadership traits and EI impact on teams. Statistical analysis identified key correlations. Findings: Leaders with high EI are more empathetic, ethical, and effective in motivating teams. Strong correlations were found between EI, social competence, and leadership success. Research limitations/implications: The study is limited to a specific demographic. Future research should explore diverse industries and cultural contexts. Practical implications: Developing EI in leadership training enhances team cohesion, reduces conflicts, and improves motivation. Social implications: EI-driven leadership fosters healthier workplace cultures, reducing stress and enhancing job satisfaction. Originality/value: This study provides empirical insights into EI's role in leadership, filling gaps in research by linking EI with leadership effectiveness.
