Women possess the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to be effective leaders. This study explores the extent to which emotional intelligence plays a role in the success of women in higher education leadership positions. Moreover, this study defines and analyzes the role of emotional intelligence in understanding successful leadership characteristics for women. Women leaders in higher educational institutions positively impact institutional outcomes by demonstrating emotional intelligence through creativity, critical thinking, communication, and collaboration. Solving problems, resolving conflicts, listening, accepting constructive feedback, and showing empathy contributes to the well-being of the leader and the institutional culture. The study shows that women leaders are vital to an organization’s achievement of mission, vision, goals, and values and that an institution will benefit from embracing emotional intelligence skills as part of decision making and from being committed to developing these skills in the context of work. Fostering the competencies of emotional intelligence, work performance is improved and career success at the highest levels is achievable. Emotional intelligence plays a pivotal role in a woman’s ability to lead. This study advances the field of emotional intelligence and women's leadership studies by articulating how emotional intelligence capabilities in women lead to personal and institutional success through intentional skills practice. Using this study institutions are able to change culture and provide new routines that leverage the strengths of women leaders.
