Another Intelligence Emotion intelligence as a theory , was bought to public attention by the book Emotional
Intelligence ,Why It Can Matter More Than IQ by Daniel Goleman.According to Goleman , Emotional Intelligence consists of five key elements The first is knowing one’own emotions :being able to recognize a certain emotional state and having the ability to identify which emotion is being
experienced Second, emotion awareness can then lead to managing one’s emotions This involves dealing with emotions that are difficult to accept when one is feeling low Many people do this by treating themselves ; others are able to wrap themselves in positive thoughts But there are , of course, many people who are incapable of doing this , and so need to be taught The third area is self motivation.Our emotions can either empower or hinder us , so it is important to develop the ability to control them Strategies can be learnt whereby emotions are set aside to be dealt with at
a later date.For example , when dealing with success or good fortune of others , it is better not too suppress any “negative” emotion that arises What is more , one just needs to be extra careful when making decisions and not allowed one’s emotions to cloud the issues , by letting them show how one solves a problem with that person The separation ofn logic and emotion is not easy when dealing with people The last element is recognising emotions in other people This means , having or developing “social radar” , liking learning to read the weather systems around individuals or groups
of people Obviously , leading on from this is the ability to handle relationships If we can recognise , understand and then deal with other people’ s emotions , we can function better both socially and professionally
