    Emotional Intelligence - Ryan James

    Chapter 1: Introduction to Emotional Intelligence

    There’s no escaping the concept of emotional intelligence in today’s age. It has suddenly gained a massive momentum everywhere from large corporations to relationship counseling to schools and government agencies. Emotional intelligence is the new psychological health buzzword, and with good reason. It defines your emotional health and interpersonal skills, which are so vital for everyday existence.

    The popular phrase was first coined by researchers Peter Salavoy and John Mayer. However, it became popular only in 1996 when researcher-psychologist Dan Goleman published a book titled, Emotional Intelligence. So what exactly is the concept of emotional intelligence and why is it such a clinching factor when it comes to choosing people for crucial roles and leading fulfilling personal relationships? Why is everyone feverishly looking for people with a high emotional quotient?

    Emotional intelligence as described by Yale psychologist Peter Salovey and John Mayer from the University of New Hampshire is an understanding of one’s emotions, empathy for other’s feelings and regulation of emotion in a manner that enhances living. This concept was shortened to make the theory more chewable and interesting for lay people by Harvard psychologist and New York Times writer Daniel Goleman. His book Emotional Intelligence complied years of behavioral research on processing feelings. He broadened the definition of smartness, and sought to establish that brainpower, which is measured by standardized IQ tests may not matter as much as mental qualities when it came to predicting a person’s overall life success.

    Goleman focused on the practical applications and how organizations can use this information to hire the right candidates, how couples could increase their chances of enjoying lasting relationships, how parents could help raise better children and how educational institutions could teach children more effectively.

    Emotional Intelligence is the power to be aware of and recognize your emotions. It is the ability to correctly decipher your emotions and the impact they have on others around you. It is also about how you perceive the emotions of those around you and a high understanding about their feelings, which allows you to be a part of more fulfilling relationships.

    In his path breaking book, Daniel Goleman focused on five predominant elements within the emotional intelligence framework, including self awareness, self regulation, motivation, empathy and social skills. Thus, emotional intelligence is an evolved understanding/awareness of not just your emotions but also those of others around you to manage relationships more effectively. No surprise then that emotional intelligence has overtaken other attributes such as skills, knowledge, and intelligence quotient when it comes to job recruitments. Everyone wants people with greater understanding, empathy and social skills to forge stronger
