Emotionally intelligent leaders may boost team performance and business outcomes
In short: A hybrid review of 104 academic articles published between 1998 and 2022 found that leaders with high emotional intelligence can improve both employee behaviors and overall business results. The analysis also observed that emotional competence in leadership is linked to more positive attitudes among team members toward their work.
By performing a quantitative and qualitative analysis of existing literature, researchers mapped out how emotional intelligence, leadership, and teams intersect. While the review provides a broad overview of decades of research, it relies on synthesizing existing studies rather than conducting new primary experiments.
Why it matters: Understanding emotional intelligence in leadership can provide insights into driving better organizational performance.
