What is emotional intelligence and why is it no less important than IQ?
Many people believe that a high IQ is the key to success. In fact, success largely depends on the level of emotional intelligence - EQ. This topic has been discussed all over the world for a long time, but in our country it is not so popular yet.
Emotional intelligence is the ability to recognize emotions, intentions, motivations, desires of oneself and others and manage them.
Why is it important? Troubles happen in each of our lives, and if we learn to respond to them correctly, we will achieve much more.
This is confirmed by stories of how geniuses with high IQs could not cope with the emotional load and therefore could not achieve success: they were overtaken by those who had developed emotional intelligence.
Hence the conclusion: you can have unique knowledge, be a great specialist, but if you behave incorrectly with the team, you will not be able to move on.
At the same time, a person with developed emotional intelligence is aware of his responsibility for his own feelings and emotions, and does not blame others for their lack of mood. He knows how to empathize, motivate, first of all, himself, analyze his behavior and reactions, and is not afraid to be honest.
This is not a topic for one post. In the next one Iβll tell you about how this skill helps you achieve success in your career and life. Have you heard about emotional intelligence before?
