Emotional Intelligence as a Facilitator and Gateway for Managerial Effectiveness

Abstract

Traditionally, intelligence has been associated with cognitive and logical abilities only. However, this definition of intelligence did not take into account the various other faculties available to the human mind. Human resources have been important to any growing organization, and in the scenario of complex volatile business it's very difficult to retain good employees who help the organization to achieve success. This work talks about how emotional intelligence helps to form as a formative block of the behavior and how they affect managerial effectiveness. This chapter explores how emotional intelligence brings with it multiple advantages and thus forms a key competency that improves the managerial effectiveness.
