Abstract

This study involved Russian managers, extending a US investigation into the possible relationship between Emotional Intelligence (EI) and leadership style; with special attention to that of the ‘transformational’ leadership style. As such, the findings from the US study are compared with the researcher’s Russian investigation. The research further addressed any possible differences in overall EI between genders, as well as differences in preferred leadership style. The results of this investigation found no significant relationship between EI and the leadership style of the Russian manager sample (n=152), nor did it find any significant variances in the overall EI scores, or preferred leadership styles of the managers, according to gender. However, supporting seminal literature, the Russian manager-sample were assessed as clearly preferring a ‘participative’ style of leadership.
