Emotional Literacy and Granularity: Gaps and Opportunities in Business Leadership Frameworks

Emotional intelligence has become one of the most talked-about ingredients of great leadership and healthy workplace culture. But despite its popularity, the way EI is commonly taught and measured is missing something important. Most frameworks still rely on broad emotional categories and self-assessment tools that don’t capture how people actually experience and express emotion in real workplaces.

Our paper below explores why emotional literacy and granularity matter, how they deepen and strengthen EI, and what current research suggests about their role in creating more effective leaders and more resilient organisational cultures. It also highlights why these skills represent an emerging frontier for leadership development and why workplaces that ignore them may be falling behind.
