Abstract:
Leadership is a vital element of achieving organizational success.
Intelligent leaders are required to possess multiple intelligences in
order to be successful. Emotional intelligence (EI) has been a vital
factor among multiple intelligences considered identified as required
for leaders. EI was identified as the means of connecting the feeling
and thinking process of people. On the other hand, the charismatic
leadership was identified as a style that is non-exploitative. Under the
Charismatic leaders, followers will emulate the leader behavior,
establish high level of trust and followers will be living in the values of
the leader. Further, it was established that employee’s perception on
the organizational climate will depend on the leadership style of the
manager. Thus, managers with high emotional intelligence will be
capable of creating a set of followers that are committed to the
organization and are productive. Thus, this article will explore the
concepts of Emotional Intelligent and the Charismatic Leadership and
discuss the relevance of two concepts.
