Abstract

The capacity to establish outcomes while simultaneously exchange and sharing in putting their skills to use to achieve those outcomes is an essential component of good leadership. The finest leaders know their followers inside and out, and they focus more on the positive aspects of their followers than they do on their shortcomings. Magnificent leaders aren't oblivious to their own or others' shortcomings; rather, leaders are confident in the knowledge that their strengths give them a competitive advantage. As a result of this, the purpose of this study is to construct a framework on the effectiveness of leadership through the measurement of five (5) dimensions of emotional intelligence. These dimensions include self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills. The following aims are illustrated for a better understanding of the study, which seeks to comprehend the notion of leadership and its behavior in order to obtain effectiveness in the education business. Obviously, the researcher wishes to comprehend the concept of emotional intelligence in order to contribute to the advancement of knowledge by utilizing Process Leadership Theory as well as the overarching theoretical framework for this investigation. The discussion in this study indirectly strengthens the leadership qualities of Chinese school principals. The authority of the education system and administration will benefit from this study by gaining an understanding of the competency of each school's principal and being able to use this information into training and competency modules.
