Leader Emotional Ability

At work, many emotions present themselves on a daily basis. These emotions can both help organizations in their progress and throw up obstacles on their paths towards their objectives. The way in which leaders deal with emotions is, therefore, of crucial importance; emotions that these leaders experience themselves, as well as those that their followers experience.
One of the ways to study emotions and leadership is by addressing the emotional ability and skills of leaders. This has been the focus of this dissertation. Three empirical studies have been conducted in order to research the impact of emotional ability on effective leadership, to what extent emotional skills can be learnt and in which way emotional ability and skills are interconnected.
