Need For Emotional Intelligence In 2024

Their ability to understand the emotions and motivations behind their work is enhanced by their compassionate leadership and use of an emotional intelligence approach. This goes beyond focusing solely on efficiency, timeliness, productivity, and meeting targets. Many experts argue that emotional insight offers a fresh framework for leaders to assess and oversee their employees' productivity. This approach promotes development, originality, and inventiveness in leadership.

Emotional Intelligence a Key Aspect of Leadership Approach

Effective leaders view emotional intelligence as a crucial skill for understanding and addressing their team members' issues. This is why emotional intelligence is a key aspect of numerous leadership approaches. Emotional intelligence in leadership refers to the capacity to comprehend and regulate one's own emotions, as well as recognize and manage the emotions and perspectives of others. This term is believed to have been initially introduced in 1990 by researchers John Mayer and Peter Salovey. Still, it has become increasingly popular in the past decade with the rise of leadership roles.

Notably, emotional intelligence is a significant measure of the effectiveness of a leadership style.

Intelligence Quotient (IQ), technical expertise, and communication abilities are insignificant if a leader lacks emotional intelligence. The escalating significance of emotional intelligence has prompted many leaders to acquire and incorporate it into their leadership approach to foster innovation, job contentment, and a positive work environment within their organization.

Christina Perry, director of organizational learning at Peregrine Global Services, says, "Emotional intelligence means acknowledging that we are not rational human beings and that emotions regulate more of our decisions and behavior than we realize.
