Abstract

Modern management is largely a management of people and not so much of resources and processes. This alone makes concepts like leadership and emotional intelligence quite relevant in modern management. The following text clarifies how emotional intelligence affects leadership behavior, considering it as the development of a collective sense of the important goals and tasks, as well as the ways to achieve them; convincing others of the importance and significance of their work and behavior; generating and maintaining enthusiasm, confidence, optimism and trust in group members who cooperate; courage when making non-standard decisions and when it is necessary to introduce changes; creating and maintaining meaningful identification with the organization. All of this can be aided by emotional intelligence.
