Emotional labor is the ability to manage one’s emotions to affect the way others feel. This presentation will introduce the theoretical concept of emotional labor before exploring how and why it is a key leadership skill that is vital in developing high performing teams, emotional resilience and an ability to influence. However, having the ability to perform emotional labour, or the lack thereof, can be difficult, damaging and dangerous. Drawing on examples and research from a range of sectors and experience of managing in a variety of business school contexts across the UK, they will also take a critical look at both the importance but also the dark side of emotional labor.
