Imagineforamoment:
You have a large, very important project that you are working on with a team at work. People are not listening to you no matter how hard you try to communicate that you see a problem with the project. You try to point out that the project is doomed to fail unless they do something different, but everyone seems to completely misunderstand you. Finally, on the day the final project is supposed to be completed, the entire project fails due to your inability to communicate. Frustrated with the situation at hand and wishing that people had heeded your warnings when you first tried to raise them, you snap at everyone around you telling them that it was all their fault. Thus, ruining relationships with many of your coworkers in one fell swoop.
Your rage built over time, and when tensions reached a critical level, you snapped and exploded. You now know, after the fact, that you could have handled the entire problem in a better and far more productive manner. Unfortunately, at the time, you felt powerless to stop yourself from pouring gasoline on the metaphorical dumpster fire that was your situation.
Perhaps an incident like that is why you are sitting here reading this book. You may have realized that you needed to better control yourself under pressure, or someone may have suggested that you investigate emotional intelligence to help you get started. Regardless of why you’re here now, reimagine how the situation would play out if you were someone who possessed a high level of emotional intelligence.
The work project is failing, but instead of worrying about the possibility of failure, you seek solutions. You are frustrated, but you know that giving in to your frustration will do more harm than good. Instead, you highlight the issues you see with the project. Because you are more skilled at communicating in ways that people notice, you are able to get your coworkers to listen to your ideas. Your team brainstorms ways to fix the project before it is too late and it becomes a problem with work performance. Your coworkers enthusiastically agree to your suggestions because they recognize that you know what you're doing and approach the situation with integrity and empathy. One of them even mentioned to your supervisor how important you were to the team in completing this project. The result is successful advancement, improved workplace relationships, and even recognition from your boss for being a good leader in the face of adversity.
You can see how much better the results are when the problem is handled tactfully and with better communication skills. Both of these come naturally to those with higher levels of emotional intelligence. While the person is the same in both scenarios and has similar feelings of frustration, they deal with that frustration in two very different ways. Higher levels of emotional intelligence are more conducive to success due to inherently improved problem-solving abilities.
You've come to the right place if you tend to identify more with the person who exacerbated the situation. This book will walk you through the intricacies of what emotional intelligence is, why it matters, and how emotional intelligence can improve your life.
EmotionalIntelligence(EI)refers to the potential to recognize, control, and analyze feelings—your very own and those of other people.
Emotional Intelligence is a fairly new field of study. Its earliest origins can be traced back to Darwin’s emphasis on the utility of emotional expression for survival. In the 1900s, cleverness was primarily explained in terms of cognitive elements such as mind and problem-solving, despite the fact that several influential scientists had identified the importance of non-cognitive facets.
In 1920, E. L. Thorndike used the term “social cleverness” to define the skill set of understanding and handling other people. The label “emotional intelligence” is credited to Wayne Payne’s 1985 doctorate thesis A Research study of Emotional State: Establishing Emotional Intelligence. The mainstream media’s interest was truly ignited in 1995 after a Time magazine article on Daniel Goleman’s bestseller Emotional Intelligence: Why it can matter more than IQ.
Since then, Peter Salovey and John D. Mayer have been the leading analysts on emotional intelligence. They define it as “the part of social intelligence that involves the capacity to observe one’s personal and others’ sensations and emotional states, to evaluate amongst them, and to use this relevant information to help one’s reasoning and activities.”
There are currently many models for the meaning of EI, and researchers disagree on how the term should be used. Some people believe emotional intelligence can be studied and then improved, while others believe it is something you are born with. This discipline is evolving at such a rapid pace that analysts’ interpretations of the definition are constantly changing. The three most accepted models are:
Competence EI modelBlended models of EIAttribute EI modelThis is “the ability to recognize the feeling, incorporate emotion to help with thought, recognize emotions, and to regulate emotions to market personal development.” The four rules to this model are as follows:
Perceiving emotions is the capacity to locate and figure out emotions in faces, images, voices, and social artifacts. This works with a standard element of emotional intelligence, as it provides the foundation for all other processes of emotional detail to take place.Utilizing emotions is the capability to assign emotions to cognitive activities including assumption and analysis. This allows the emotionally intelligent person to utilize their moods to better manage their lives.Understanding emotional states are exactly how we analyze the foreign language of emotional states and thereby can better manage difficult emotional relationships.Taking care of feelings is the method we use to manage our very own emotional states and those of other people for us to achieve optimum results.This is the model, launched by Daniel Goleman, which defines EI as a wide variety of proficiencies and abilities that steer leadership performance. There are four major rules to this:
Self-awareness is the potential to recognize your emotions, acknowledge their effect, and use them to update choices.Self-management involves regulating your emotions and impulses and conforming to scenarios.Social understanding is the ability to sense, recognize, and react to the feelings of others within social situations.
