“…Many studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of TL behavour in organizations [32] but there is a relative lack of research regarding the antecedents of these behaviours [45]. Previous studies link it to biographical background factors [4], intelligence [2], psychological factors [13], gender [34], and leader fit [26], but in the overall the capacity of these individual differences to predict TL has been inconclusive and as a consequence the suggestion that other unexplored factors such as EI may play a prominent role in predicting TL behaviours [38] still holds.…”

This study sought to determine the relationship between Emotional Intelligence (EI) and leadership styles of managers among selected banking institutions in Kenya. It proposed that EI, which is the ability to perceive, understand and manage emotions predicts transformational leadership (TL) style. The leaders' EI scores were obtained by administering the Emotional and Social Competency Inventory (ESCI), and to measure perceived leadership styles, the raters completed the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ-5x). A sample of 60 leaders and 240 raters was drawn from six banks. Spearman's Correlation was carried out on the data and the results indicated a positive relationship between EI scores of leaders and TL style. Further analysis indicated a positive relationship between EI and contingent reward and active MBE components of transactional leadership. On the contrary negative relationships were revealed between EI and passive MBE as well as laissez-faire leadership style, thus it was concluded that EI predicts leadership styles.

“…Meeting targets set for a team is obviously one that gladdens the heart of all managers and supervisors. Rubin et al [18] also observed from similar studies that when teams meet or exceed targets set them the organization is surely en-route to meeting corporate objectives. Fiedler et al [19] explain further that continuous meeting of target goes a long way to strengthen the operational existence of the organization.…”

The study investigated the impact of effective leadership practices on an organizational growth and development in Ghana with the search light on the operations of National Investment Bank of Ghana (NIB). NIB recently had new management members with a new board of directors in place. For the year 2015 the bank shocked the banking fraternity when it was able to pay huge dividend to state coffers having experienced dividend draught for a long period. It is not too clear whether the leadership practices of the new executives have turned around the fortunes of the bank or the success story is due to the general boom in the banking industry of Ghana.Random sampling technique was adopted to select some branches of the bank and its headquarters as the study population. Purposive sampling technique was then employed to directly approach officials for their views. The questionnaire technique was the main research instrument while Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) was employed to facilitate the analysis of the data. Findings of the study indicated that the new management team of NIB employed sound communication skills, very fair compensation packages groomed employees to perform better are some of the strategies for shoring up financial performance of the bank. The study therefore concluded by upholding the hypothesis that the recent success story associated with the financial performance of NIB was due to the leadership style of the new management team but not necessarily a direct result from the simile booming performance in the banking industry of Ghana. As a further study, the role ICT played in NIB's success story deserves investigation.

[38] Emotional intelligence further requires using an understanding of others' emotions effectively and appropriately.…”
