High emotional intelligence can help a manager improve workplace communication skills, employee motivation and organizational effectiveness. If a manager has high empathy, a key component of emotional intelligence, he or she will be able to listen to the concerns of employees and will be more understanding of their needs, wants and concerns. This will most likely translate into increased motivation and satisfaction of employees and ultimately will have a positive effect on the effectiveness of the business. It is important to note, however, that emotional intelligence is a concept that is not universally understood to have the same meaning and is not universally believed to be a key determiner of business success.
