Abstract: 

We conducted a study in a sample of 302 organizational leaders and entrepreneurs examining the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI), leadership effectiveness and emotional labor (EL) strategies. We analyse the data based on the Cascading Model of EI (CMEI) and introduce the role of situational demands and emotional labor strategies. We confirm the efficacy of the CMEI and further explain the role of EL as a boundary condition for EI and organizational outcomes. We offer a brief suggestion for additional research.

Practitioner Points
• Emotional abilities matter for effective leaders
• Emotional intelligence predicts leadership effectiveness
• Emotional labor context changes the extent to which emotional intelligence predicts leadership effectiveness
• Personality and other known covariates impact the emotional intelligence – leader effectiveness relationship
