What
is seen outside is 15% - 10% (appearance). What’s really happening inside is
85% - 90% (emotions). Emotion is like gravity. You know it's there. You know it
exists but how do you define it? It is always experienced by the people.
Emotional intelligence -“Is a term used to describe the various competencies
that are essential for building, developing and managing relationships”
(Peters, 2008, p.13). Emotional intelligence consists of two dimensions;
intrapersonal intelligence and interpersonal intelligence.
Emotional
Intelligence or Emotional Quotient is simply defined as “Knowing what one feels
good, what one feels bad, and how to get from bad to good. Knowing your
emotions and knowing emotions of others.” It refers to emotional management
skills, which provide competency to balance emotions and reasons so as to
maximize long term happiness.
”Emotional Intelligence is the capacity for recognizing our own feelings and
those of others, for motivating ourselves, and for managing emotions well in
ourselves and in our relationships. Emotional intelligence describes abilities
distinct from but complementary to academic intelligence,” said Daniel Goleman
(1998).
Are we giving EQ training in school?
Are we giving training for how to control emotions?
Are we training people how emotions related with one event change their future?
My answer is “NO.”
Emotional competency, Emotional maturity and Emotional sensitivity can be
learned and develop person.
Bad News!!!
EQ abilities are declining in children. More impulsive, aggressive, and
angry entry level employees need more training in EQ competencies.
Good News!!!
EQ is teachable and tends to increase over your lifetime (maturity).
Work climate is dependent on EQ level of management. Majority of employees
choose to leave or stay at an organization based on relationship with their
manager.
What is observed in the life is that people take emotions heartily and break down
the relationship. People react with emotions towards others and this hurts the
other one. The other one takes it personally instead of taking it
professionally. Other people do not take it as a reaction to an event but treat
it as a critic to him and take it personally. This breaks down the long time
relationship for life time.
Emotional
reactions spoil relationship, future goals and tend to change destination.
Other people also treat it personally and react badly to the action, which hurt
the people and love in the relationship is slowly drop down where as bitterness
starts flowing in the relationship. Finally, no one wins, and team spoils off,
relationship spoils off and organization is spoils off.
Today’s conclusion of Monday wisdom is Emotional competency, Emotional maturity
and Emotional sensitivity. It can be learnt by developing person. Emotions
should be treated mentally instead of personally. It can also be treated as a
reaction to an event not to a person. So, it should not be treated personally.
