The incubator - Transformational leadership and emotional intelligence: A potential pathway for an increased understanding of interpersonal influence

Abstract

Non-cognitive emotional intelligence could potentially contribute to a more holistic understanding of interpersonal influence and leadership; however, significant issues of definition, psychometric independence, and measurement must be conclusively resolved. Possible relationships between emotional intelligence, transformational leadership, and individual/organizational outcomes are described and further investigation is encouraged.
