Emotional Intelligence By Daniel Goleman

We define Emotional intelligence is the ability to:

Recognize, understand and manage our own emotions

Recognize, understand and influence the emotions of others

In practical terms, this means being aware that emotions can drive our behavior and impact people (positively and negatively), and learning how to manage those emotions – both our own and others – especially when we are under pressure.

When would I need to manage my Emotional Intelligence?

Giving and receiving feedback
