Abstract: Introduction: In organizations, emotional intelligence is closely linked to work teams and its relationship with factors such as maturity, intellectual capital, high levels of wisdom to solve the different problems that occur in human relations, and the ability to bounce back in the face of adversity. In this sense, this paper aims to carry out a bibliometric analysis of emotional intelligence and its relationship with leadership to identify the keys to research. Methods: A bibliographic review is carried out in the Scopus database, considering the articles published in English between 2002 and 2022. In this regard, the documents are analyzed by year, author, country, research area, co-authorship, and co-occurrence. Results: The results reveal the formation of two clusters. The first cluster is related to Emotional Intelligence, and the second cluster is related to Transformational Leadership. It is evident that Emotional Intelligence allows the leader to intuit the collaborators' needs and search for the means to satisfy them; likewise, it is found that the transformational leader must promote change and empower people to become empowered. Conclusions: Emotional intelligence is a key factor for those who assume the role of leaders since it facilitates relationships with individuals and the understanding of emotions. The leadership style adopted should help manage the organization's human resources to promote the team's emotional growth and job satisfaction.
