Abstract: The purpose of this study is to empirically examine and profile the emotional leadership competencies of managers in Pakistan. The study used theoretical approach to critically review the leadership literature to see how emotional leadership competencies influence leader’s behavior. The study noted that emotional intelligence forms the basis for the development of emotional leadership competencies amongst managers. We further postulate that emotional leadership competencies form the basis of transformational leadership. The study postulates that the collectivistic culture of Pakistan should have an augmentation effect on the expected improvements in organizational performance resulting from transformational leadership behaviors.
