Purpose: The aim of the study was to investigate role of emotional intelligence and social skills in effective leadership and teamwork in Indonesia
Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.
Findings: The role of emotional intelligence (EI) and social skills in effective leadership and teamwork is paramount. Studies have consistently shown that leaders with high EI can build trust, facilitate open communication, and inspire their teams, leading to improved team cohesion and performance. Social skills, including effective communication and collaboration, contribute significantly to a leader's ability to motivate and influence team members positively.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Emotional intelligence (EI) theory, social learning theory & transformational leadership theory may be used to anchor future studies role of emotional intelligence and social skills in effective leadership and teamwork in Indonesia. Organizations should prioritize leadership training programs that focus on enhancing EI and social skills among their leaders. Organizations should include EI and social skills development as integral components of their leadership development policies.
