Abstract:

This paper aims to identify and investigate the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) and the

effectiveness of global leaders. Practical experiences emphasize that effective global leadership is

essential for rapidly changing multinationals and emotional intelligence has been identified by a large

number of researchers as a major driver of effective leadership. Although academic evidences are

increasing, the gap on the connection between emotional intelligence and leadership still maintains. The

exploration of extensive researches has revealed a powerful link between emotional intelligence and

leadership performance. Directions of future research of EI of global leaders may refer to the

investigation of job satisfaction, organizational engagement or followers’ motivation.
