Emotional Intelligence is the ability to comprehend, manage, and effectively express one's own emotions, as well as effectively interact with others and their emotions.
Emotional Intelligence, also known as EI or EQ (emotional quotient), is often divided into four key elements: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management. For instance, a manager with high emotional intelligence can better understand and manage their own emotions, leading to better decision-making and stress management. They are also more adept at understanding their team's emotional state, thereby efficiently managing relationships and fostering a supportive work environment.
It is very important to understand that emotional intelligence is not the opposite of intelligence, it is not the triumph of heart over head--it is the unique intersection of both. - David Caruso
