Emotional Intelligence

Emotional Intelligence describes the ability or skill to identify, assess, manage and control the emotions of one's self, of others, and of groups. It is about how well you understand other people that will get you ahead.

In our modern world, EQ becomes an important attribute in our life. Employers now do not mainly look out for people with skills. It all depends on yourself and your ability in understanding how your mood and behavior affect others; including the ability to motivate and lead others.
In business we have to deal with pressure and conflicts constantly. For example, if a manager faces a heavy pressure with his low level of EQ, he is bound to get easily angry and take improper decisions. So in order to deal with the pressure, one has to look inside oneself and understand the different opinions that your team is sharing and what their emotions are. Only then when you understand these, you will be able to do well in business management. By going along the right flow, you can make the right decision without falling in to conflict.

Relationships are also one of the ways we interact every day. We need to relate with everyone for business, work, family, love, friends and anything else. The people that have high emotional intelligence are the ones that have better personal relationships and can get the most out of them.
In relationships, you should not keep your feelings in yourself, but in other, ask him how he feels, what his interest are and how you can help him solve it. Even if you disagree with him, let him know that you understand him and that you just want to talk and get the most for both of us. By going through the processes, your relationship with him or her will develop a strong and deep bond with each other in relationship. It shows that you have a high EQ in handling with relationship.

EQ can be developed by oneself and everyone has his or her EQ. It is common knowledge that people are born with talents and thus they become successful but it is wrong as most people that are successful are in fact not gifted and do not even have high intelligence. People who are successful in most areas of their life, have the ability to understand their own emotions and influenced, inspire and understand the emotions of others. In short, everyone can be successful if they truly understand themselves and others’ emotion. Only then it will bring you to greater height.

Emotional Intelligence can be practised on daily life and can be used in wide variety of areas. If you can learn to perceive other people’s emotions and understand your emotions and the importance of emotional intelligence, you will achieve a good result in your life as long as you have EQ to spur you ahead.
