essential skills to navigate conflicts and achieve
compromise. By fostering self-awareness, empathetic
engagement, and a focus on collective success, emotionally

However, studies have shown that leaders with high levels
of emotional intelligence are more effective in their roles,
are better able to navigate challenging situations, and are
more likely to have a positive impact on their
organizations.
