Abstract

The concept of emotional intelligence (EI) and success factors of effective leadership in Higher Education (HE) are recognized. Yet, in research-intensive universities, academic leadership development in research-intensive universities occurs without the utilization of EI. Negative consequences exist for the individual and for HE, such as; leadership-effectiveness, communication, motivation and participation. Consequently, academics recruited into leadership roles often struggle or fail because they lack the necessary skills. To date, academic leadership development follows no international standard. Therefore, almost nothing is known about eligibility criteria, methods and tools being used in academic leadership programs and how these support the inclusion of EI. Most universities do not even have leadership programs. Only little research has been conducted so far on the importance of EI in academic leadership development in research-intensive universities and how university leaders get developed (based on which contents, procedures and criteria).
