Thinking style preference, emotional intelligence and leadership effectiveness

Description

In this study, the researchers investigate the relationship between thinking style preference, emotional intelligence and leadership effectiveness in an institution of higher education. The measuring
instruments used were the Neethling Brain Preference Profile (NBPP) and the Mayer, Salovey and Caruso
Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT), as well as the Kouzes and Posner Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI).
The sample comprised 138 managers within a higher education institution. The researchers found some evidence to support the relationship between thinking style, emotional intelligence (EI) and
leadership effectiveness. The researchers concluded that facets of brain dominance and emotional
intelligence may be potentially useful predictors of transformational leadership behaviours.
