What is Emotional Intelligence?

Emotional intelligence can be defined as “the ability to identify and

manage your own emotions and the emotions of others”

(Psychology Today).

In general, the more you can empathize with another person the

greater emotional intelligence you possess.

Managing Yourself

If you want to lead others, you will need to be able to control your emotions. 

Everybody has neurotic tendencies. Yet people with high emotional

intelligence are able to control their negative tendencies so they don’t

interfere with work.

Part of managing your emotions is being aware of them. Self­awareness is

key to increasing your emotional intelligence.

Social Awareness

Social awareness is the ability to understand other people’s emotions and

react accordingly to different social situations.

Social awareness contributes to your ability to have positive relationships

with others. 

Emotional intelligence is the ability to remain flexible and adapt to any social

situation that arises.

3 Tips forIncreasing Emotional

Intelligence

Don’t jump to negative conclusions or take everything personally.

Learn how to manage stress. You can practice yoga, meditation, or

breathing exercises. These three activities will help you stay cool during

stressful situations.

Set boundaries. Emotionally intelligent people are not afraid to express

negative emotions, and they don’t hold on to guilty feelings after expressing

disappointment.
