Moses Sophia Joseph & Dr. Noel Francis Parge

Invisible workload—comprising emotional labour, household management, care giving coordination, and unpaid organizational tasks—disproportionately burdens women professionals and contributes to stress, burnout, and reduced career progression. Emotional Intelligence (EI) can be defined as the assessment and management of both personal and professional emotions and thereby implements them for managing the circumstances and career succession. Emotions are personal thoughts, it may bring happiness and accomplishment in life if managed properly. But if it is not handled in a proper way then it may be dangerous for human beings. Our Interpersonal and intrapersonal disagreement, the relations with society, family and self is also affected by uncontrolled emotions. The developed version of Emotional Intelligence helps the individual to channelize emotions constructively and use them as motivational tool. This study also highlights the fact that EI is an essential determinant for effective leadership and an integral element of the new transformational leadership approach. Therefore, women can also have the same potential to become effective and successful leaders by developing and enhancing their EI skills.
