Emotions give informationabout goals and need (Collie, Shapka and Perry, 2012). Emotions have two types one is positiveand second is negative. Negative emotions create avoidance and positive emotions createopportunities. Most of emotions are influenced by environment so that emotions come and gothroughout the day, through out week and so on. Emotion are not good or bad only action wouldtaken from emotion. Emotion depend on situation so, its changes with change in situations. Oneswhen leaders understanding their own emotions then they will understand others feeling andsituations so that it help in resolving problems of workers. A leader with strong emotions arecapable to understand how to react in situations so that result should be positive. Every person2

Emotionalliteracy is a training part of the human resource department in any organisation, its helpmanagement for understanding their employees emotions and help them to make their employeeemotionally stable (Day, 2011). In all organisation emotional literacy is very important formanagement.

It is the capacity to translate vision into reality, to influence others byinspiring motivation with passion produced by a conviction and ignited by a purpose. A leader is a person who leads the group of an organisation and knows the way to achieve therequired goals. Leaders have a deeper and more lasting influence on organisation and providemore comprehensive environment where people can work together.According to Fisher, emotions can be defined as the factors which are interlinked withcognitive and physiological process, the feelings experienced, interpreted, controlled and3
expressed. Leadership is an emotional process where leaders display emotions and attempt toraise emotions in their team members (DuFour and Marzano, 2011). Managers always supposedto be unemotional and must have a rational attitude as emotions in any organisation are seems tobe political. An effective leader is able to express emotions in order to connect all the teammembers of an organisation but his emotions are always under control, he knows what and howmuch to express among their employees. Effective managers or leaders are always able to tuneinto use their knowledge and experience to make effective decision. They are always aware oftheir responsibilities towards staff, employees, clients and the organisation. Emotions are criticalto everything that a leader can do to build trust, set a vision, maintaining and strengthenrelationship, make tough decision and learn from failure. Emotional intelligence (EI) is the cornerstone of every decision which is implemented atwork place. To solve problems and make judgement are part of a leader's systems of values andbeliefs. School leaders have always used this EI to make decisions that effects their organisation(Fernandez, Salamonson and Griffiths, 2012). Emotionally intelligent leaders use self-generatedsense to understand their employees emotions and to appreciate them for their work that requiresmutual trust when an organisation faces challenges. Its relevance that school leadership is animportant factor. Good communication is a critical feature of any enterprise where people workwith a common purpose. The effective communication is either an implicit or explicit feature ofleadership. School leadership are hired and retained on the capacity to buffer teachers fromoutside interference. There are five key elements to it: self-awareness, self-regulations,motivation, empathy and social skills. Great leaders have the ability to read people's need,desires and understand empathy. Leaders emotions play an important role, it shows hiseffectiveness, attractiveness to his followers. Leaders who feel excited, enthusiastic and energeticare likely to similarly energise their followers as a leader's sad expression make them feel lessenthusiasm and more fatigue. But as every reaction has positive or negative impact and this canaffect the overall success of the company, thus effective leaders are able to manage theiremotions, acutely self-aware, can manage their own moods and feelings, take proper decisionand look for proper solution if problems assist instead of looking to blame and dodgeresponsibilities.4
