Chief Emotional Officer [1] (CEmO) is a qualified professional with the skills, tools and resources to facilitate a healthy emotional environment in any organization. An effective CEmO practices emotional intelligence skills and communication techniques in order to provide emotional support, smooth things over and keep communication open.

Traditionally, the role of Chief Emotional Officer was performed by the "mom" in a family business. "Mom" was responsible of nurturing family beliefs, keeping the family together, calming sibling conflicts and establishing the family behavioral culture.

In our days, these duties need to be addressed in any organization. An organization could be defined as family, extended-family, group community, non-profit, church, ministry, workplace, business, chamber of commerce, professional associations, and any group of two more individuals. The role of the Chief Emotional Officer is needed to nurture the mission, vision and values of the organization, to calm peers conflicts and to set the tone for the organization interaction and success.

An effective Chief Emotional Officer must practice emotional intelligence skills and communication techniques, along as, understand the organization culture, goals and strategies. The CEmO is part of the management team of the organization, but may or may not be CEO.
