Deep dives

The Importance of Emotional Intelligence in Interacting Effectively with Others

Emotional intelligence (EQ) is crucial for effective interactions with others. IQ, skills, and knowledge alone are not enough if the delivery system of emotional intelligence is underdeveloped. EQ acts as the conduit of influence and enhances a person's ability to create and deliver value. It consists of three main components: motivation, perception, and action. Traditional models of EQ often overlook the important aspect of motivation and intentions, leading to the critique of manipulation. To address this deficiency, the EQ Index model introduces the notion of regard, encompassing beliefs about oneself and others, as well as intentions toward them. The model includes six competencies: self-regard, social regard, self-awareness, social awareness, self-management, and social management. By developing emotional intelligence, individuals and organizations can enhance their effectiveness, improve relationships, and unlock their full potential.
