1.Emotional intelligence (EI), emotional leadership (EL), emotional quotient (EQ) and emotional intelligence quotient (EIQ), is the capability of individuals to recognize their own emotions and those of others, discern between different feelings and label them appropriately, use emotional information to guide thinking and behavior, and manage and/or adjust emotions to adapt to environments or achieve one's goal(s).

1. Self-awareness.
2. Self-regulation.
3. Motivation.
4. Empathy.
5. Social skills.

The more that you, as a leader, manage each of these areas, the higher your emotional intelligence. So, let's look at each element in more detail and examine how you can grow as a leader.

Self-awareness

? If you're self-aware, you always know how you feel, and you know how your emotions and your actions can affect the people around you. 

? Self-regulation

Leaders who regulate themselves effectively rarely verbally attack others, make rushed or emotional decisions, stereotype people, or compromise their values. Self-regulation is all about staying in control.

? Motivation

Self-motivated leaders work consistently toward their goals, and they have extremely high standards for the quality of their work.

? Empathy

For leaders, having empathy is critical to managing a successful team or organization. Leaders with empathy have the ability to put themselves in someone else's situation.

? Social Skills

Leaders who do well in the social skills element of emotional intelligence are great communicators. They're just as open to hearing bad news as good news, and they're expert at getting their team to support them and be excited about a new mission or project.

? Emotional intelligence, communication effectiveness,

and strategic alignment remain a key topic of concern among managers and employees worldwide.

Communication effectiveness is a key for organization's performance and progress. The

interrelationship between emotional intelligence, communication effectiveness, and strategic alignment

plays a vital role in the growth and success of organizations of Iran. Emotional intelligence (EI) and

communication effectiveness are proposed as an important predictor of key organizational outcomes

including strategic alignment. The paper is undertaken to understand the relationship between

demographic variables (age and gender) and emotional intelligence, and communications effectiveness

to improve strategic alignment in the organizations of Iran. The dimension of emotional intelligence in

this study includes: happiness and optimism. Data (N = 82) for this study were collected through

questionnaires and the participants were managers in Agriculture Bank and Educational

Administrations of Iran. The aim of this paper is to assess the emotional intelligence and

communication effectiveness and relationship with strategic alignment. The results showed emotional

intelligence can impact on communications effectiveness through demographic variable and also

communication effectiveness has a positive impact on strategic alignment

? The Effective communication is about more than just exchanging information. It's about understanding the emotion and intentions behind the information. As well as being able to clearly convey a message, you need to also listen in a way that gains the full meaning of what's being said and makes the other person feel heard and understood.

Effective communication sounds like it should be instinctive. But all too often, when we try to communicate with others something goes astray. We say one thing, the other person hears something else, and misunderstandings, frustration, and conflicts ensue. This can cause problems in your home, school, and work relationships.

? A lack of EI/EQ can negatively impact communication in the workplace through several mechanisms: Less understanding of one's own emotions. Less understanding of the emotions of others. ... Inappropriate communication-related behavior, such as outbursts of emotion, oversharing or failing to communicate important information

?The Emotional intelligence is widely recognized as a valuable skill that helps improve communication, management, problem-solving, and relationships within the workplace. It is also a skill that researchers believe can be improved with training and practice.
