Emotional Intelligence
☞ Emotional intelligence is the ability to identify and manage one’s own emotions, as well as the emotions of others.
☞ It is generally said to include at least three skills:
- Emotional awareness : the ability to identify and name one’s own emotions.
- Harnessing emotions : the ability to harness and apply emotions to tasks like thinking and problem solving.
- Managing emotions : the ability to regulate one’s own emotions when necessary and help others to do the same.
