Emotional Intelligence (often times referred to as EI or EQ) encompasses a set of skills that enable us to do many useful things, including:
understanding what others want and need
understanding what we want and need
finding ways for our wants and needs to fit with those of others
staying calm under pressure
being the kind of person that others want to be around
using our emotions to energize us for achievement
Individuals and leaders who have high Emotional Intelligence are more successful in their work and generally more fulfilled. Good news – your EQ can be developed!
