Using Emotional Intelligence Intelligently

What is Emotional Intelligence?

Emotional Intelligence is the ability to act wisely in relationships and succeed in coping with life’s challenges and demands. General intelligence is only loosely correlated with healthy relationships and productive workplaces.

Emotional Intelligence helps us:

  • learn more and learn more quickly
  • enjoy our work more
  • work more effectively
  • make better decisions.

Using our emotions intelligently calls on a particular set of skills.

  1. Recognising our own emotions is the first step.
  2. Controlling them, especially the strong emotions, is more challenging but vital.
  3. Understanding and responding appropriately to others’ emotions enables us to act wisely in all sorts of relationships and interactions.
