Emotional Intelligence: Constraints and Possibilities in Leadership Practices

Doris M. Dickerson

A chapter in Leadership - Advancing Great Leaders and Leadership from IntechOpen

Abstract: Once the COVID-19 pandemic was over, the issue of educational disparities in outcomes for marginalized students in all fields revealed a systemic process of educational disparities. This has amplified economic inequality among ethnic groups. Accommodating the diversity of student needs while also helping to create leaders has now become a critical priority. Addressing this necessitates implementing inclusive leadership practices which need novel leadership abilities. Principals can expand their inclusive leadership talents by including emotional intelligence (EI) expertise in their repertoire. I believe that taking on new leadership challenges, such as ethics, diversity, equity, inclusion (DEI), creativity, and innovation, will support developing inclusive leadership habits, which will aid in providing education and academic triumphs to all underprivileged students while also bringing in lasting human capital growth. Therefore, this chapter takes note of the connection between transformational leadership and the principal\'s capabilities when it comes to leading.
