Abstract
In the modern world, today, due to rapid changes, development of technology, market demands, we can conclude that more than ever there is a danger of various types of crises. In this regard, more than ever before, it is necessary to understand what resources companies need to be more resilient to crises. This paper provides an overview of the theoretical framework, as well as research conducted in the field of emotional intelligence and crisis management. Many studies show that the importance of emotional intelligence of leaders in a crisis is great. Leaders who have a higher level of emotional intelligence possess certain skills that can be crucial to the organization in crisis situations. This paper aims to present the correlation that exists between emotionally intelligent leaders and crisis situations, taking into account several studies conducted in this area. All studies conducted have shown that there is a positive relationship between the emotional intelligence of leaders and crisis management. The conclusion is that examining the impact of the relationship between the emotional intelligence of leaders and the crisis is an exceptional framework that provides an opportunity for human resources to operate within organizations, as management of organizations themselves, seeking and shaping leaders with emotional intelligence skills.
