In a nut shell, what is emotional intelligence (EQ)? Emotional intelligence is the ability, capacity, skill to identify, assess, manage and control the emotions of one's self, of others and of groups. Emotional intelligence is a different type of intelligence. It’s about being “heart smart”, and not just plain “book smart.” For one to be successful in life requires more than just intelligence quotient(IQ), which has tended to be the traditional measure of intelligence, ignoring all the essential behavioural and character elements. There are numerous people in the world who are academically brilliant, but are socially and inter-personally inept. What they are missing is emotional intelligence. Despite possessing a high intelligence quotient rating, success does not automatically follow. It has been proven by researchers that people with high emotional intelligence are usually more successful in life as they are highly sought after by large companies. Thus, enabling them to earn big bucks. In the working world, it is pivotal that one is able to control his or her emotions well, and not let them be revealed so obviously to others. For instance, when your boss reprimands you for something that you had not done. Even though you feel that injustice had been done to you, you still cannot talk back to him or her or you can get ready to be fired. Sadly, this is how things work in the working world. Emotional intelligence can be raised through the ability to quickly reduce stress, recognise and manage emotions, connect with others using nonverbal communication, to use humour and play to deal with challenges and to resolve conflicts positively and with confidence. In conclusion, having emotional intelligence definitely leads to better outcomes in business, the work place, relationships and one’s own personal life. There are also many correlations between emotional intelligence and academic achievement. Having high emotional intelligence is the greatest key to financial success. -SASHA
