‘The Role of Emotional Intelligence in Leadership Succession Management’ soon to be published in the Consulting Psychology Journal, involved 485 aspiring school leaders, but its findings apply to any role that is emotionally laborious. The study uncovered, not everyone has the EI skills needed for senior leadership roles – but can it be developed? Listen to find out.
