Abstract

This conceptual paper explores the multifaceted role of emotional intelligence (EI) in enhancing team dynamics and achieving organizational success. Drawing on foundational theories of emotional intelligence, the paper highlights the impact of self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills on leadership effectiveness. The discussion extends to how EI promotes better communication, collaboration, conflict resolution, and workplace morale. This paper synthesizes key theoretical perspectives to argue for the centrality of EI in contemporary leadership, offering insights into how organizations can leverage EI to improve both interpersonal relationships and strategic outcomes. It also outlines directions for future research and implications for practice in leadership development.
