Emotional intelligence (EQ) is your ability to recognize and
understand emotions in yourself and others and your ability
to use this awareness to manage your behaviour and
relationships

the ability of an individual to appropriately and successfully

respond to a variety of emotional stimuli elicited from the
inner self and the immediate environment

EQ is the ability to understand other people: what motivates

them, how they work, what are their goals
 EQ
It is interesting to note that so many people with
high IQ fail whereas those with less intellectual
endowment are extremely successful
Emotional intelligence includes qualities such as
self-awareness, ability to manage moods,
motivation, empathy and social skills like
cooperation and leadership
Your level of emotional intelligence is neither
genetically fixed, nor does it develop only in early
childhood. Unlike IQ, which does not increase after
adolescence, emotional intelligence is largely
learned and continues to develop throughout life
and is conditioned by lifes experiences
 EQ
In the normal course of a lifetime, emotional
intelligence tends to increase as you learn to be
more aware of your moods, to effectively
handle distressing emotions, and to listen and
empathise. In short, as you become more
mature, you can acquire certain emotional
competencies that lead to outstanding
performance at work.
In the corporate world, IQ gets you hired, but
EQ gets you promotedor fired

why the smartest kid in the class may not end
up as the richest; why some people are liked
almost instantly and others are distrusted;
why some people remain buoyant in the face
of troubles which would sink a less resilient
soul. In short, what are the qualities of brain
and heart that determine success

MANAGE YOUR ANGER
Everyone gets angry at some point of time or other.
This is natural and easy. But the management of anger
is not easy. It requires learning of specific skills to
handle anger
Emotional support: Mitigating negative emotions such
as fear, worry, anxiety and stress. These negative
emotions lower the functioning of the immune system,
increase blood pressure, increase the risk of heart
attacks and cancer, prolong recovery times and cause
migraine headaches
People in the first clusterartist, insurance, advertisement and social workmay need to
express feelings, identify and label feelings and manage and control impulses. That is
exactly the reason why EQ scores of these professions are found to be extremely high.
 EQ
Today it is widely believed that EQ, rather
than IQ, is the true measure of human
intelligence. Many studies indicate that school
grades and IQ are weak predictors of success
in life. It is also known now that IQ cannot be
developed, whereas EQ can be developed
throughout ones life span.
