Abstract

In the management of modern educational institutions, alongside a leader's professional knowledge, competencies in the emotional domain are becoming decisive. This article analyzes the concept of emotional intelligence, its components, and its relationship with leadership in educational management. Drawing on theories of emotional intelligence (D. Goleman, P. Salovey and J. Mayer, R. Bar-On) and the concept of transformational leadership, it examines how a leader's self-awareness, emotion regulation, empathy, and social skills affect the psychological climate of the school community, teacher motivation, and the quality of education. Using qualitative-theoretical and comparative methods, the study proposes practical directions for developing emotional intelligence in educational leaders — selection criteria, professional development, reflection, and coaching. The findings are of practical relevance for the training and professional development of leadership cadres in the education system of Uzbekistan.
