We can only treat others as sensitively as we can understand and reflect on, our emotions! Something more than intelligence also matters!
Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is a learned ability to Recognize, Understand, Manage and Reason with Emotions. It shows our ability to precisely perceive ourselves and how our emotions affect others around us.
EQ is an incredibly valuable skill at workplace. By being able to better understand and manage our emotions, we will be able to control our behaviors better, stop acting on impulses, exercise self-control and regulation, be more sensitive in our actions towards others and communications with people we interact or work with. It affects how we relate to other people and how we are perceived as well.
Learning and practicing EQ skills is essential for everyone and all the more for the leadership teams – better EQ will facilitate effective handling of tense situations, conflicts, business decision making and more. EQ skills forms the base of competencies upon which all other soft skills are built.
