Emotional Intelligence Managers

Emotional intelligence is the ability to recognize your feelings, understand the message they carry, and realize how they influence people around you. It also involves the perception of others in all their ways of expression, both verbal and nonverbal. When you understand how they feel, you will automatically tune in to their mental frequency and manage relationships more effectively. To increase your emotional intelligence, it’s also important to declutter your brain from negative thoughts and dysfunctional patterns of interpretation of reality.

Many people are wildly unaware of what emotional intelligence is and how it supports them in all areas of life, including in their leadership. Emotional intelligence is ultimately your ability to navigate emotions in a healthy, mature manner that supports you with using them in an effective and polite manner, rather than emotionally exploding on people when things get out of control.

The world is slowly getting used to the idea that a high IQ is not a guarantee of success. Businesses, in particular, are now looking for employees who display more EQ than IQ and are directly recruiting those who lean toward this ability. The good news is that EQ is not something that is determined early in life, and it can get stronger as we mature.

Having a high emotional quotient (also known as EQ) might seem like some vague nonsense, but the truth is that it actually gives you a great advantage in life. Sure, the EQ is just a measure of the ability of understanding and managing emotions, but in practice your increased emotional intelligence can manifest in many forms: decreased stress levels, fewer problems occurring in your day-to-day life, better self-control and self-esteem, a better social life, and improved social interactions.
