Emotional Intelligence is composed of 4 dynamics:

Knowing how to apply these feelings and emotions in a variety of contexts and relationships that one develops throughout life.

The mastery of these four dynamics will make you reach your objectives and become a productive professional, thus applying the competences of: Self-awareness, Self-management, Social Awareness andSocial Competencies.

Why Emotional Intelligence is important

Have you ever felt at work that people do not trust your opinion or that you are not asked for opinions as often as you would like? It may be a sign that your are not managing your emotions well enough, and that is having a negative impact on your daily life. Failure is not a sign of weak Emotional Intelligence, but it is the way we handle the flaws that we show our Emotional Intelligence level.

According to studies conducted by Hay Group and Daniel Goleman, the capabilities considered essential for excellence in all types of professions are:

67% emotional skills
33% related to cognitive or technical skills
90% of people with higher levels of performance have high levels of emotional intelligence

In Leadership roles, the emotional competences were still more relevant reaching 80%.

Emotional intelligence is the basis of many key skills of your day-to-day, without which it is hard to be a good leader:

Stress Management
Self Confidence
Empathy
Teamwork
Inspirational Leadership
Developing Others

Organizations thus hire their talents for one of three reasons:

Superficial (smile, pose, appearance, clothing, personality, manners, interests, goals)
Knowledge and Experience (education, certifications, titles, capacities, credentials, training, knowledge, experience)
Social / Emotional Intelligence (personal responsibility, communication, social skills, self-control, attitude, adaptability, commitment, stress management, self management, motivation)

Some organizations hire people for the 1st or 2nd reason, but most organizations lose people because of the 3rd reason.

Curiosities about Emotional Intelligence

Do you know why cognitive intelligence is not very relevant in professional and technical functions?

Because the input threshold is typically an IQ of 110-120. As everyone is in the group of about 10% smarter, IQ itself provides a relatively small competitive advantage.

A Gallup study indicated that most contributors rated "having a boss who cares" as more important than "money" or "additional benefits." This same study also indicated that the amount of time the employee continues in the organization and their level of performance are directly related to their relationship with their direct superior.
