In the rapidly evolving global business landscape, emotional intelligence (EI) has emerged as a critical determinant of effective learning outcomes, leadership performance, organizational resilience, and sustainable business success. Particularly within commerce education and corporate leadership, EI enables individuals to navigate interpersonal relationships, ethical dilemmas, stakeholder expectations, and digital disruptions with empathy, adaptability, and self-regulation. This paper examines the role of Emotional Intelligence in enhancing student employability, managerial effectiveness, organizational performance, and ethical governance. Drawing on recent research from interdisciplinary journals and industry case examples, it presents a strategic framework for integrating EI into commerce curricula and leadership development programs. The evidence suggests that EI fosters interpersonal competencies, improves decision-making, strengthens team cohesion, and contributes to sustainable organizational growth. The article concludes by recommending policy actions for higher education institutions and corporate entities to embed EI into core competencies for the future of work.
