LESSON 8: EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
WHAT IS EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE?
Daniel Goleman defines emotional intelligence as “the ability to motivate oneself and
persist in the face of frustrations, to control impulse and delay gratification, to regulate
one’s moods and keep distress from swamping the ability to think, to empathize, and to
hope.”
Peter Salovey identified FIVE domains of emotional intelligence, namely:
1. Knowing one’s emotions or self-awareness.
2. Managing emotions
3. Motivating oneself
4. Recognizing emotions in others
5. Handling relationships
➢ Organizing groups
➢ Negotiating solutions
➢ Personal connection
➢ Social analysis
BENEFITS OF EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
Emotional intelligence is important as it directly affects:
1. Physical and mental health – emotional intelligence equips one with tools in
managing stress; and stress, which usually brings discomfort and illness, can be
avoided. For mental health, emotional intelligence works well when dealing with
frustrations and challenges, providing the individual with plenty of healthy coping
mechanisms.
2. Work performance – either in school if you are still a student, or at work, if you
are already employed. EI helps in understanding people and situations more
objectively and with more understanding and compassion. Emotions that are
managed well relieve one from stressful situations and misunderstanding with
others.
3. Relationships – interpersonal relationships are enhanced because emotions are
expressed in a more positive way, and with empathy, genuine caring is expressed
and shared. EI also builds trust so that conflicts are managed better.
