What is emotional intelligence?
Emotional intelligence (EQ) is the ability to recognize, understand, and manage your own emotions — and to recognize, understand, and influence the emotions of others.
Daniel Goleman popularized the concept in his 1995 book "Emotional Intelligence." He proposed that EQ matters as much as IQ for success in life, and that it can be developed and improved.
Goleman's four dimensions
1. Self-awareness — recognizing your own emotions and their effects 2. Self-management — managing your emotions and impulses 3. Social awareness — understanding others' emotions and perspectives 4. Relationship management — building and maintaining healthy relationships
