Congratulations for downloading EmotionalIntelligence; 8 Surprisingly Effective Ways To Increase EmotionalIntelligence.This is your first step towards mastering the art ofmanaging your emotions and unlocking the success that comes withsuch control. Emotional Intelligence involves the ability toidentify, understand, manage and react to different emotions.

Emotional intelligence is also referred to asEmotional Quotient (EQ). EQ is divided into two major parts, whichinclude understanding yourself and understanding others. Improvingyour EQ involves understanding your emotions; managing thoseemotions; motivating yourself; identifying and understanding otherpeople's emotions; and managing your relationships.

Rules for evaluation in the modern world havegreatly changed and thus you will find yourself being judged inspecial yardsticks. You are not only likely to be judged by yourcompetence, skills or anything you were taught in class. Whether atwork, learning institution or even in your personal life, peoplewill judge you using your ability to deal with your emotions andrelate to others.

This may come as a shock to most people whowere taught that academic intellect excellence is all it takes tobecome successful. The success of your career as well asrelationships is highly dependent on your people skills, alsoreferred to as your Emotional Intelligence (EQ).

Researchers even suggest that EQ is a muchgreater determinant of ones success than IQ. You might have eventhought that people who get so much done and are generallysuccessful have a high IQ or smart. This is not true; in fact,people with a very high IQ often have so much on their mind at onegiven time that they are usually not very productive. EQ on theother hand helps you stay in touch with emotions and since life isall about relationships. People who can build and maintain goodrelationships, both professional and social, are usually happierand they also tend to get things done more efficiently thusattracting success.

You experience over 456 emotions on a dailybasis and managing all those emotions can be challenging. Somepeople have more difficulty in understanding and handling theiremotions more than others. In a workable market where permanentemployment is rapidly being replaced with portable skills, having ahigh level of EQ is essential to ensuring that you are and remainemployable.

Whether you are applying for a job or you arealready employed, whether you work for yourself, a smallorganization or a large corporation, you will be scrutinized usingthe EQ lens.

Unlike IQ that stops improving or onlyimproves marginally after an individual attains 18 years of age, EQhas been noted to improve with age for most individuals. Theassumption is that the longer one lives, the more emotionalchallenges they face and this improves the way they handle theiremotions and those of people around them. It is, however inaccurateto assume that the older someone is the higher his or her EQ willbe as there are other factors that contribute to the development ofones EQ.

The average EQ of the American population hasbeen improving gradually over the past years. However, that ofAmerican children and young adults has declined notably. Thisdecline has given rise to concerns since the affected populationplays a big part in the countrys current and future growth. Theever-improving technology has given rise to a generation with verypoor interpersonal skills. Most people would rather chat virtuallythan talk to someone sat next to them.

As pointed out earlier, a high EQ helps youto recognize and understand your emotions, which in turn helps youto manage your emotions and your relationships. Lack of theseskills result in strained relationships due to factors such as poorcommunication, insensitivity to other peoples emotions, andirrational actions among others. People are naturally wired to seekpleasure and avoid pain such as a strained relationship.Consequently, people who have poor EQ are likely to lead unhappyand isolated lives.

Individuals with low EQs stereotypicallypossess a number of common negative traits. For instance, they arerigid and they possess poor interpersonal which often createsproblems in their personal and professional relationships. Peoplewith high EQ on the other hand, tend to engage with others moreeffectively and they are often better decision makers.

Authors of The Business Case for EmotionalIntelligence, Joshua Freedman and Todd Everett, conducted an EQresearch, which suggested that improving EQ of business leadersfosters a culture of high performance thus increasing theorganizations productivity and profitability.
