The work of Goleman (1998) in the area of Emotional Intelligence offers promise for the assessment and evaluation of leader behaviors not related to a technical skill set such as those related to finance, data analysis, curriculum alignment, law or strategic planning. Researchers at a West Central Georgia University initiated a project that examined the relationship between transformational leadership behaviors as articulated by Avolio and Bass (2004) and emotional competencies that have emerged from the work of Goleman (1998) and Boyatzis, Goleman and Rhee (2004). In this study, researchers administered the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire developed by Avolio and Bass (2004) and the Emotional Competencies Inventory-University Edition (ECI-U) based on the work of Boyatzis, Goleman and Rhee (2004) to 46 assistant principals from a southern urban school system. The resulting relationships between transformational leadership behaviors and emotional competencies are reported in this article along with recommendations for future study and ramifications for training educational leaders.
