Nowadays leadership process is understood as social interaction. Therefore both objective (task oriented) and emotional components of leadership are active in private and public sector. The purpose of this study is to find out the relationship between emotional intelligence and transformational leadership style among police officers, who occupy leadership positions. 88 police leaders from Kaunas County Police Headquarters participated in the research. 53 police officers were higher-ranking chiefs, 35 had lower positions in the hierarchical structure of management. The questionnaire consisted of three parts: socio-demographic questions, Lithuanian version (Stelmokienė, Endriulaitienė, 2009) of General transformational leadership scale GTL (Carless, Wearing, Mann, 2000) and short questionnaire of Trait emotional intelligence TEIQue-SF (Petrides, Furnham, 2006).
