Emotional intelligence is the capability of individuals to:
- recognize their own, and other people’s emotions,
- discern between different feelings and label them appropriately,
- use emotional information to guide thinking and behavior,
- manage and/or adjust emotions to adapt environments or achieve one’s goal(s).
EI people are those who can rule their emotions, have a strong control of how they react to the outside world and handle people well among other things. Decades of research confirmed that people who were super-successful owed their success not to their IQ, but to their EI. It separated them from the rest of the pack.
Emotional intelligence is that intangible character that is there in all of us, but in different quantities, which helps us manage our behaviors, make decisions and how we interact with others.
