Emotional intelligence's importance in women's leadership & managerial capabilities

Abstract

Women leaders who possess high emotional intelligence are better equipped to follow their intuition and make wise choices. Women’s leadership is greatly aided by emotional intelligence (EI), which enables them to succeed in a variety of fields. Women are naturally good at understanding others, balancing their emotions, and creating inclusive settings. The present research aims to investigate the ways in which emotional intelligence enhances the leadership skills and position of women. This study aimed to investigate, through a review of the literature, how emotional intelligence (EI) affects women's leadership, as evidence indicates that EI plays a significant role in predicting effective leadership attributes. We also discovered that there is a societal belief that women are typically perceived as being more sensitive and understanding than men. We go over the definitions of EI and leadership and investigate the relationship between women, EI, and leadership.
