Q.1 – What’s Emotional Intelligence?

Emotional Intelligence - EQ - is a relatively recent behavioural model, rising to prominence with Daniel Goleman's 1995 Book called 'Emotional Intelligence'. The early Emotional Intelligence theory was originally developed during the 1970s and 80s by the work and writings of psychologists Howard Gardner (Harvard), Peter Salovey (Yale) and John 'Jack' Mayer (New Hampshire). Emotional Intelligence is increasingly relevant to organizational development and developing people, because the EQ principles provide a new way to understand and assess people's behaviours, management styles, attitudes, interpersonal skills, and potential. Emotional Intelligence is an important consideration in human resources planning, job profiling, recruitment interviewing and selection, management development, customer relations and customer service, and more.

Teaching students about emotions

There are a number of issues to consider when teaching students about emotions. Teaching students to identify basic emotions is just the first step. They need to understand the context of emotions. In addition to reading emotions in others, they  need to display the correct emotion themselves

The first environment for teaching emotions is the family as the seat of the first affective and social relationships. The basics of emotional intelligence provides an insight into their own emotions (self-awareness), knowing how to control and manage social relationships, recognize and share the emotions of others (empathy) The emotional literacy can only happen if the parents have themselves been educated to recognize and manage their emotions, so you can become the "emotion coaches" for their children.

Education emotions

The secret of success is not what they taught you in school. What matters most is not IQ, not a business school degree, not even technical know-how or years of expertise. The single most important factor in job performance and advancement is Emotional Intelligence. Emotional intelligence is actually a set of skills that anyone can acquire, and in this practical guide, Daniel Goleman identifies them, explains their importance, and shows how they can be fostered.

The 5 components of EI

Here are a basic set of set of steps you can follow to learn to control your emotions and in turn understand the emotions and drivers of the people you lead.

Cease and challenge the emotion (e.g. anger) before reacting to it.

Realize that you cannot stop emotions flooding your mind. Emotions happen too quickly and outside your rational mind. But you are in total control of how you will react.

Have an open mind and realise that you may not understand the other story where the emotion was triggered. The situation might not be as bad as you perceive it.

Each thought triggers more emotions. So use the power of distraction to stop it.

Why is this important?

We are all affected by the 3 parts of our brain in making and dealing with decisions and people.

As a leader understanding how this affects you is fundamental in understanding your followers, those that you lead. How can you lead people if you do not understand basic fundamentals of how your emotions drive your world. Understand 1st, then apply.

Being an effective leader means you understand that people are emotional creatures and at times can get swamped by their lower brains in response to various environmental triggers.

Intentions and Behaviours are 2 different things. Behaviours are sometimes triggered by lower brain functions. Never make conclusions based on them, rather on the “true intentions” of the said individual, their rational mind. Have an open mind.

Emotional Intelligence

Before you can be effective at this you must understand your own emotions better just like the samurai in the Japanese tale. Once you learn to manage your emotions you will have a profound deep understanding of the people around you and how to best respond, motivate, lead and inspire them. That my life explorers, is true Emotional Intelligence.

How to manage your emotions?

A Develops the ability to solve problems of anxiety, depression and shyness

C Develops social-emotional skills in early childhood by the family and then by the school and other

B Develop skills and abilities useful to avoid disappointment and / or bad choices

D Develop the instinct for survival

Q.2 – According to Goleman, what does emotional Intelligence develop?
