Emotional intelligence plays a crucial role in leadership effectiveness from "summary" of The Silent Language of Leaders by Carol Kinsey Goman, Ph.D.

Emotional intelligence is a critical component of effective leadership. Leaders who possess high emotional intelligence are better able to understand and manage their own emotions, as well as the emotions of others. This enables them to build stronger relationships, communicate more effectively, and make better decisions. In fact, research has shown that leaders with higher levels of emotional intelligence tend to be more successful in their roles. One reason why emotional intelligence is so important for leaders is that it helps them to connect with their team members on a deeper level. By understanding the emotions and motivations of others, leaders can build trust and rapport, which is essential for creating a positive and productive work environment. This, in turn, can lead to higher levels of employee engagement and job satisfaction. Furthermore, leaders with high emotional intelligence are better equipped to handle conflicts and difficult situations. They are able to remain calm and composed under pressure, and to approach challenges with empathy and understanding. This can help to de-escalate tense situations and to find constructive solutions to problems. In addition, emotional intelligence can also help leaders to inspire and motivate their team members. By demonstrating empathy, compassion, and emotional awareness, leaders can create a sense of belonging and purpose among their employees. This can lead to increased loyalty, commitment, and motivation, as team members feel valued and understood.
