Abstract: In this review of the literature, we briefly examined the development of intelligence theories as they lead to the emergence of the concept of emotional intelligence(s). In our analysis, we noted that only limited attention had been focused on the emotional intelligence skills of school administrators. Accordingly, we examined the role of emotional intelligence in improving student achievement. Because principals as educational leaders are responsible for the successful operation of their respective schools, we contend it is important to examine the link between effective leadership skills and practices and student achievement.
