Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power. If you realise that you have enough, you are truly rich.
-Lao Tzu
There are many definitions of Emotional Intelligence, however the original definition of it comes from Peter Salovey and John Mayer who first coined the term EI:
Emotional Intelligence (EI) refers to the collection of abilities used to identify, understand, control and assess the emotions of the self and others.
Emotional intelligence (EQ), as defined by Six Seconds, is a set of competencies that allows you to apply thinking and feeling to make optimal decisions. While many people have been taught to “leave their emotions at the door,” Six Seconds’ premise is that emotions are essential to effective decision-making and motivation. If you use your EQ effectively you’ll be better able to influence others, to communicate, and to stay focused on the critical path. This is why Harvard Business Review says emotional intelligence is “the key to professional success.”
