Abstract
In this chapter we extend the EI model, from the individual to the group level of analysis, and comment on the similarities between EI and Belbin’s Team Roles. We also suggest that there is scope for using EI assessments to help in building balanced, and therefore effective and flexible teams. We propose a framework for developing emotionally intelligent leadership teams and illustrate its use by a case study.
