Working with Emotional Intelligence |
We are used to know that IQ measures our Intelligent Quotient and that determines how intelligent we are and capable of achieving success. However, that is wrong the IQ doesnt mean anything when it comes to success, most people that have achieved great success doest not have a great IQ or special talent, some call it persistence, thinking out of the box, special skills but the truth is that a huge factor is working with emotional intelligence.
Psychologists have found that the Emotional intelligence or EQ is a major factor or even more important factor than iQ. Emotional intelligence is the ability to perceive and recognize ones emotions and other peoples emotions. It make sound simple but the results are big.
The expert in the field of emotional intelligence is Daniel Goleman who has a book called "Working with Emotional Intelligence" that i really recommend if you want to get an good insight on the subject.
Some experts believe that is more important how we successfully interact with other people that how intelligent we are or how much we know. The reason is that relationships is a vital part of our life we need to negotiate and deal with people every day for any situation and if we can take advantage of those relationships in a positive way, we can achieve success quicker.
There are countless of very intelligence people and even geniuses that invented great things, great music, but never achieved success the way we perceive it. For example there has been great minds and inventors that were never famous or that never earned much money although they were very intelligent (IQ).
On the other hand there are people that have not invented or do not have great knowledge on anything or they might even be slow, but they have a high emotional intelligence and they persist to achieve they goals, the result is great financial success and recognized by many. That is the case of many polititians and business entrepreneurs.
We can see it in entrepreneurs, a person with high emotional intelligence know how to deal in difficult and high pressure moments of their life thus taking charge for their emotions. An entrepreneur might fail again and again before he achieves success, but he knows that he has to be persistent, learn from his mistakes and go on, he has to resist pressure and people how dont believe in him, but he will make it no matter what. That entrepreneur has a high emotional intelligence.
