• 15 Great Interview Questions That Measure Emotional Intelligence

Emotional intelligence is made up of two primary aspects, the first of which is your ability to recognize, control and express your own emotions. The second half of emotional intelligence is the capacity to empathize with others and understand their emotions. Both of these skill sets allow you to understand yourself and others. If you’re wondering where you stand with emotional intelligence, here are some hallmark signs.

EI determines how well you do at work. Do you have the traits that defines it? Are you emotionally intelligent?

“Emotional Intelligent People knows how to make WORK and the WORLD a better place”.

Emotional intelligence is the “something” in each of us that is a bit intangible. It affects how we manage behavior, navigate social complexities, and make personal decisions to achieve positive results.

Why is emotional intelligence such a big deal? …If you can’t manage your emotions, you crumble or snap under stress. If you can’t manage your emotions, you can’t motivate or inspire yourself effectively to do the things you need to do.  If you can’t manage your emotions, you can’t use your best thinking.  You get stuck in your lizard brain, and cut off from your ability to respond more effectively when it counts. If you can’t tune into others’ emotions and demonstrate empathy, you’ll have a hard time connecting with others. Yeah, emotional intelligence is a big deal!
