Emotional Intelligence ( Eq )

The book, Emotional Intelligence 2.0, provides an alternative approach to how a person achieves success. This book does not focus on the conventional determinant of success, such as formal education and training, experience, and intelligence level (IQ). Although all these components contribute greatly to ones achievement of success, these factors are not the only factors to be considered in whether a person will be successful or not. This book focuses on the concept that it refers to as emotional intelligence (EQ), which is one’s ability to recognize and effectively understand his/her emotions in a productive and rational manner.

With the publication of Daniel Goleman’s book Emotional Intelligence in 1995, the business world got an answer to a question that had been plaguing it for decades: “Why did some people of a high IQ struggle at managing teams while other leaders of lower IQ excel at it”? Goleman asserted that the traditional measurement of IQ (intelligence quotient) was not enough to determine a good leader. Schools and universities concentrated on developing the cognitive and analytical part of the brain, while the teaching of how the emotional side of the brain worked was ignored. Goleman defined this “emotional intelligence” of a human being as a set of competencies that distinguish how one manages

I have known emotions have an impact on how people react in personal and professional aspects of their lives. I was not aware of ways to harness those emotions until after reviewing my emotional intelligent (EQ) results. According, to TalentSmart (2015), my overall EQ score was 77. My personal competence score way 73 with my self-awareness score at 73 and my self-management score at 72. My social competence score was 82 with my social awareness score at 83 and my relationship management at 81.

This study is anchored on Daniel Goleman’s mix model of Emotional Intelligence. EQ is the ability of the person to distinguish, evaluate, assess and control one’s own emotions, others emotion, and of the groups. Thus the person has his positive way to manage stressors, able to express his thoughts and action in a right manner, ability to empathize with other feelings, and can successfully dealt with the challenges and confusion of one’s life (Carter, K., Seifert, C., 2013).

Emotional intelligence is conceptualized as a person’s ability to overcome stress, communicate effectively, understand others, cope with challenges, and solve conflicts by identifying, using, understanding, and managing their emotions positively (Gines, 2015). Emotional intelligence allows individuals to understand others, without necessarily talking to them. This understanding is vital since it influences the way we relate with other people. Emotional intelligence can be defined using four components which include self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management (Segal, Smith, & Shubin, 2016). The essay focuses on these four components and the skills that help in building emotional intelligence.

On the emotional intelligence quiz, I received a 70 out of 100. I learned that in most situations, I’m the calm one, who is usually trying to talk sense into someone else. For example the question about the angry customer on the phone, I choose the answer about talk to him, and offering him options that could help with his problem. I learned that I’m a problem solver, which I would have never have pictured myself as being. I think of myself more as a listener, than a problem solver. It does make sense though since being a problem solver and listener do go together. You have to listen to someone to help them solve their problems. I know that people will come to me, if they have problems with anything. So I’m a lot more savvy than I thought I

My DISC results came out to be pretty accurate. My highest is critical and then dominant. I think I am very critical because I love to have everything planned and I search for approval with other people. Dominant was next and I think that was right because I love being competitive and accepting challenges. I was a little bit steady, but I do not think that fits me because I am a planner. It is very difficult for me to just go with the flow.

We often lack the skills to manage our emotions in the heat of the challenging moment we face. In ‘’Emotional Intelligence 2.0” by Patrick Lencioni he states that only 36 percent of the people we tested are able to accurately identify their emotions as they happen. This means that two thirds of us are typically controlled by our emotions and are not yet skilled at spotting them and using them to our benefit. If we all take a second to be mindfulness than just running through the flow, there will be less people being stress and suffering. Typically, the more intense your emotions are, the greater the likelihood that they will dictate your actions. In the words of Walpola Rahula, author of the “What the Buddha Taught,” mindfulness is simply observing, watching and examining, you are not a judge but a scientist” (1974,73). This means that mindfulness helps us observe are mental process as the same way a scientist would. No matter whether people measure high or low in EQ, they can work to improve it, and those who score low can actually catch up to their co workers. EQ is so critical to success that it accounts for 58 percent of performance in all types of jobs. discovered that people who are low in EQ and job performance can match their colleagues who excel in both solely by working to improve their EQ. Typically, the more intense your emotions are, the greater the likelihood that they will dictate your

I think I need to improve on myself awareness and need to learn to understand my emotions and realize the limitations for myself instead of pushing myself over thresholds. A good way to improve this to be more mindful about my emotions and any physical cues I have. I think I also need to understand my weaknesses and my strengths. I think analysing someone’s emotions throughout the day could be an effective strategy for this but I think keeping a diary and going back and reading over emotions I had experienced and analysing them and

Have you ever been to a restaurant where everything was perfect except for the waiter ? The food was good and came out in a timely manner but the waiter was arrogant, annoyed and could not grasp the idea of what was wanted or was not able to explain menu items to one’s understanding ? This waiter is lacking emotional intelligence. Therefore, due to this problem, the waiter is left no tip and makes very little money at the end of the night. This is just one example of one career where having emotional intelligence can be a huge benefit and not having it could be a form of sabotage. Emotional intelligence can measure who one gets to make connections with and if that person likes you or not. Making connections is a big part of success and if one can not make that connection, what is going to influence them to link one with possible partners, interviews or jobs ?

For this survey, my mom with me have very similar answers. The emotional awareness part, we both get point for the same question, I got 10 point, Ying got 5 point. It shows Ying was clear about her priorities, and I’m aware of possible alternative points of view. For emotional control, it shows we both are confident to handle situation on the spot. Ying have a higher score than me on the emotional diagnosis, she is more emotional sensitive for other people. We both got the same score for the emotional response. I think overall the emotional intelligence assessment answers are correct about us. However, my emotional control is only 10 point, and I would like to improve on that.

“Emotional intelligence is the ability to understand and manage our emotions and those around us, therefore, this quality gives individuals a variety of skills, such as the ability to manage relationships, navigate social networks, influence and inspire others. Every individual possesses different level, but in order for individuals to become effective leaders, they will need a high level of emotional intelligence. In today’s workplace, it has become a highly important

To begin, the basics of emotional intelligence are crucial to understanding the foundation from which humans refer to on a daily basis for interacting in society. Emotional intelligence suggests that humans hold the capability to identify, interpret, understand, manage, and response to emotions in ways to enforce positive relationships, establish good communication, empathize, and address conflict within social networks. Humans begin learning this upon entering life, as emotional intelligence determines the ways that humans behave and intermingle with the environment. The degree of intelligence varies among people: those with a high emotional intelligence are able to recognize their own emotions and other emotions in addition to a sort of magnetic draw that pulls others toward them. This is because people with high emotional intelligence know how to better relate to, understand, and help others. Consider a group

Pet ownership can teach children “[…] ‘emotional intelligence’, or EQ- their ability to empathize, understand, and connect with others.” (Daniels 1) This skill controls and manages emotions in order to promote good communication. As social beings, people must understand their own feelings as well as other’s and act accordingly in order to solve problems and avoid conflict. Its counterpart, IQ, the intelligence quotient, measures one’s learning, understanding, and applying of information. The difference between them is the process of understanding mental capabilities; while EQ focuses on emotion, IQ focuses on information. (Hassan 1)

There are numerous factors impacting on a student’s emotional intelligence which can result in poor academic performance. Salovey and Mayer (1990) “define emotional intelligence as the subset of social intelligence that involves the ability to monitor one’s own and others’ feelings and emotions, to discriminate among them and to use
