Emotional intelligence and leadership Daniel Goleman (1998) introduced the concept of emotional intelligence (El). This concept, while still controversial, merits some elucidation as it relates to leadership. Goleman and others describe El as the emotional needs, drives and true values of a person. El research is akin to the trait theory of leadership, in which the core elements of successful leaders are identified. Researchers have then taken these traits and identified leadership styles in which these traits are dominant, thus allowing a person to begin using particular traits in particular situations. 

Whereas many theories help an individual xmderstand how to lead, there remain styles of leadership that a person can adopt to influence the actions and behaviors of others. Many of the theories discussed earlier describe some form of leadership behavior. The work of Daniel Goleman in El provides a nice framework for describing various leadership styles. 

The four Els described by Goleman can be important traits for a leader to possess, but they alone are not useful in identifying a good leader. Instead, these traits must be coupled with a repertoire of leader behaviors, or styles. Daniel Goleman has developed six styles of leadership that make use of some or all of the Els previously described. Table 5.1 lists the leadership styles and the primary Els associated with these styles. 

Daniel Goleman, a psychologist with considerable expertise in spiritual development work, has summarized some very practical indicators of problems in group work.
