Abstract
Effective leadership was necessary to enable the completion of modern projects due to their increasing complexity. An important component of leadership success was emotional intelligence (EI), which was defined by self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills. This study examined how emotional intelligence affected project leadership effectiveness and how it might have improved project delivery results. The study adopted a qualitative approach and concentrated on detailed information obtained from project managers across a range of industries. Stakeholder communication, team motivation, conflict resolution, and project success rates were examples of leadership performance indicators that were examined in this study in connection to emotional intelligence components. Project managers with high EI were more equipped to manage challenging interpersonal circumstances, which improved team satisfaction and project performance, according to the qualitative research. The significance of integrating emotional intelligence development into leadership training programs for project managers was underscored by these findings. According to the study’s findings, improving emotional intelligence was essential to becoming a successful leader and maximizing project completion.
