Abstract
The author presents a case for testing the emotional intelligence awareness scores in diverse leaders as crucial to understanding why women with high emotional intelligence continue to be underutilized in senior roles in the high-tech sector. At a time when the American workforce is set to increase steadily, and high-tech employment is projected to grow 4% by 2024, the proliferation of emotionally intelligent women in the American workforce is misaligned with the current insufficiency of women in senior roles in the United States (U.S.) firms in the high-tech sector. The author employs a theoretical framework and a multivariate analysis of variance statistical procedure to test and compare the emotional intelligence awareness scores for females and males. If leaders in the high-tech sector are seeking organic organizational growth, innovative products, and meaningful and impactful solutions for end-users, then the gainful knowledge and application of emotional intelligence in diverse leaders should be a top priority.
