In Agile, each is recommended to develop an ability to have Strong Emotional Intelligence. But, Yes, for successful leaders it is a must.
So answer of both question is yes.

Hi,

Thank you for raising question. Lets spend sometime in understanding the emotional intelligence , i understand Emotional Intelligence (EI) as capacity to handle emotions with thinking , and it is also a capacity to control thinking with emotion. Its like when you are stressed and team is asking for going to party, how you respond to it ?

Who needs EI, every one, who needs more? who is dealing with more people , one who has to work with multiple people and ensure they think about their feeling maturely has to me EI.

So all of us, needs it.
