Summary/Abstract: Emotional intelligence (EI) is, today, a paradigm for recognizing and regulating leaders’ emotions, and is a core component of successful leadership. The ability to focus one’s emotions on the closest associates and employees, in the right way and at the right time, is eo ipso feeling for the moment when the organization needs immediate changes and for shaping all aspects of business with the demands of a turbulent environment. If a leader has a lack of emotions or uses them in an incorrect way, ie does not make the right strategic decision and gives wrong information about it to associates and employees, devastation and dissolution of organizational success and economic parameters can occur. The leader and his closest associates (co-leaders) must have a high degree of EI in order to properly understand their employees and their emotions, and to be able to choose a leadership method adapted to given situations, and also useful for members of the wider community.
