Background of the Study
Emotional intelligence (EI) is the ability to recognize, understand, manage, and influence emotions in oneself and others. In leadership, EI plays a vital role in fostering a productive, harmonious work environment and guiding employees toward organizational goals. Nigerian Breweries, a leading company in Nigeria’s beverage industry, operates in various regions, including Yobe State, where unique socio-economic conditions and regional dynamics may influence leadership effectiveness (Nwachukwu & Anene, 2024).
Leaders with high emotional intelligence are better equipped to handle interpersonal conflicts, motivate their teams, and create a positive organizational culture. In Yobe State, where there are often challenges related to infrastructure and social cohesion, the ability of leaders to effectively manage emotional dynamics in their teams is even more crucial. This study will examine how emotional intelligence influences leadership effectiveness in Nigerian Breweries’ Yobe State operations, exploring the connection between EI and key leadership outcomes such as employee performance, engagement, and organizational success.

Investigating how emotional intelligence influences leadership outcomes at Nigerian Breweries can provide valuable insights into enhancing leadership practices in such challenging environments.
