According to Wiki Answers, Emotional intelligence, also known as Emotional quotient (EQ), is the capability of individuals to recognize their own emotions and those of others, discern between different feelings and label them appropriately, use emotional information to guide thinking and behaviour, and manage and/or adjust emotions to adapt to environments or achieve one's goal(s).
By simply mastering the following five main components of Emotional intelligence, you can improve your interpersonal skills and build better relationships with others:
Self-awareness
This is the ability to understand our own emotions, where they come from, and what effects they have on others.
Motivation
An internal drive to do better and achieve more.
Self-regulation
Our ability to control our emotions, especially when things get tense. People with high EQ will avoid hurling personal insults or engaging in emotional outbursts.
Empathy
This is the ability to recognize the feelings of others and put ourselves in their place for better understanding.
Social skills
Being able to communicate what we mean so that others understand.
When we're skilled in all of these areas, we can readily gain the support of others, avoid conflicts, and lower stress. Our relationships - both personal and professional - will flourish.
Have an amazing day!
