STEM Education is a transdisciplinary approach to education in which Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics are taught through real world applications and investigations. It is even stated within the executive summary of the 20218 United States Federal STEM Education 5-year Strategic Plan that the "Prosperity and Security of the nation depends on "an effective and Inclusive STEM Education Ecosystem". (National Science and Technology Council, 2021). But, in December 2021 the responses from the field indicated a need for more information on how to structure, lead and measure STEM Ecosystem success (National Science and Technology Council, 2018). There is a current void in the literature regarding STEM ecosystems (in general) and specifically the champions that lead them. Goleman (1998) found that effective leaders are alike in one crucial way: many have high Emotional Intelligence (EI). However, Moore (2009) suggests that the education field lags behind the business world in its acceptance and intentional focus on refining and developing its leaders EI competencies. Given the substantial growth and success of the national STEM ecosystem movement within Pennsylvania and across the United States, this comparative study was designed to answer three questions related to a STEM leader's Emotional Intelligence (EI) profile. Specifically, this study identifies the trait EI characteristics shared among STEM Ecosystem Leaders, the similarities and differences present within those leaders of different educational sectors, and how STEM Ecosystem Leaders perception of their own EI impacts their interactions within the ecosystem. The research methodology of this study was composed of two stages. Stage one collected quantitative data on 22 STEM Ecosystem Leaders using 360-degree questionnaires (TEIQue 360) 187 people responded: 22 STEM Ecosystem Leaders and 165 second line raters. The second stage collected qualitative data obtained by conducting follow-up interviews with 14 (63.6%) of the STEM Ecosystem Leaders. This study found that STEM Ecosystem Leaders share similar EI profiles, characteristically most score highest within the Happiness and Optimism EI Facet and Lowest within the Emotion Regulation and Assertiveness Facets. Overall however, STEM Ecosystem Leaders have higher than average EI Scores for all Trait EI Facets. Significant differences between the EI profiles of STEM Ecosystem Leaders working within different Educational sectors were found, most notably; those STEM Ecosystem Leaders working within Community Organizations had higher EI scores on most facets and factors when compared to peers working within other educational sectors studied. Finally, when asked, most STEM Ecosystem Leaders connect high confidence and performance with partnerships with their high Happiness and Optimism scores. They also attribute their anti-social behavior during meetings to their low Assertiveness scores. A common STEM Ecosystem Leader EI profile is discussed. The impact of the results to the field, and how these results can be used are discussed. This study could influence how STEM Ecosystem Leaders are recruited, the STEM Leadership models advocated, and the future training models targeting STEM education leaders.
