Key Strategies that Promote Emotional Intelligence among Organizational Leaders in Latin America

For Brackett and Stern (2024) "everyone values Emotional Intelligence, but actually learning the components is another matter entirely" (p. 26). According to Goleman (2020), the components of EI are self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, em-pathy, and social skills. Most effective educators based in Goleman's (2015) view are alike in one crucial way: "they all have a high degree of what it has come to 106 known as emotional intelligence" (p. 1). This book chapter aims to provide a comprehensive guide on the critical factors for effectively designing and implementing an emotional intelligence (EI) training program. The data were collected using a qualitative method. The participants who were purposefully selected for obtaining data were expert practitioners on adult professional development and one expert on EI development. As a result of this study, some of the strategies and aspects recommended to consider within an EI educator training program may be applicable to international leadership as well.
