Have you ever heard of ‘Emotional Intelligence’?  This is the ability to understand and manage emotions of yourself and others effectively, which is also referred to as 'EI' or 'Emotional Quotient (EQ)'. Having ‘Emotional Intelligence’ is useful for creating better relationships and promoting a positive work environment.

 

There are five components of emotional intelligence. For example, Self-awareness, Self-regulation, Motivation, Empathy, and Social Skills. Psychologist Daniel Goleman is known for developing these five characteristics of emotional intelligence in 1990s.

'Self-awareness' is the ability to identify your emotions and emotional triggers.  'Self-regulation' is the ability to control and adjust your emotions to create a more positive effect.' Motivation' is the urge and desire to do something. ' Empathy' is the ability to identify and understand the feelings of another person. 'Social skills' are the tools used to communicate with other people.

 

Before improving emotional intelligence, it's beneficial to identify your weakness, asking for help, and feedback to become a more understanding communicator.

 

Making an effort to improve your emotional intelligence can not only provide us positive work environment but also inspire others in the workplace. Without saying, that can help you progress in your career as well.
