Emotional Intelligence in Transformational Leadership

Transformational leaders must have a deep understanding of their own emotions and those of others. A study with 15,000 participants revealed that leaders with higher emotional intelligence significantly increased inspiration among employees by 50%, decreased frustration levels by 30 to 40%, reduced intentions to leave the profession, and lowered burnout rates. Ethical behavior was also linked to the emotional skills of supervisors and leaders, emphasizing the importance of managing emotions in leadership roles.
