Abstract: In order to maintain long-term practices of effective leadership and high performance it is important for organisations to devote special attention to the development of cognitive, social and emotional intelligence competencies of managers and employees of all levels of organizational structure. The purpose of this article is to identify most significant leadership competencies that arise from cognitive, social and emotional intelligence as well as to analyse the competencies’ impact on motivation, interest to work and initiative of employees. This research differs in a way that it was constructed not to evaluate concrete leaders’ competencies and their impact on business organization, but rather to identify that from employees’ point of view. In order to achieve the research aim a quantitative research method has been employed as well as an instrument – survey questionnaire – has been prepared. The conducted survey’s results analysis allow to claim that leader’s emotional, social and cognitive intelligence competencies influence on employees’ motivation, interest to work and initiative is strong and, therefore, undeniable. Although importance of some aspects vary depending on respondents’ age, gender and work experience, the generalization of the leadership competencies impact on employees’ motivation, interest to work and initiative have been drawn.
