Emotional intelligence is at the heart of our research. Our aim was to examine the differences that exist between generations, based on the views of their representatives. In the theoretical portion we dealt with defining emotional intelligence and presenting it from the leaders’ aspect. Finally, each generation is introduced. In our paper we set up 2 hypotheses, which are cross-tabulated and/or analyzed with the help of related statistical methods. In the end, both our hypotheses proved to be true. This article contains 2 figures and 2 tables. Our paper ends with a section on conclusions, in which we summarize our research, results and outline our findings.
