Emotional Intelligence @ Work

In the late ‘90s, Daniel Goleman’s synthesis of research about success supported what many have thought was true – it isn’t our IQ or grades that contribute to success. It is our “emotional intelligence” that is a greater contributor to success. Emotional intelligence supports the notion that our success in the workplace is based not by how smart we are, or our job skills and expertise, but how we handle ourselves and others. It is the ability to recognize your emotions and realize how your emotions affect people around you. Emotional intelligence also involves your perception of others. When you understand how they feel, this allows you to manage relationships more effectively.
