Why Is Emotional Intelligence Important

Emotional intelligence has become quite a hot topic in the recent past. The concept of emotional intelligence has changed and evolved over the years, from its inception as being called โ€œsocial intelligenceโ€ all the way back in the 1930โ€™s, to โ€œemotional strengthโ€ in the mid-20th century, to its current terminology, โ€œemotional intelligence.โ€
The EI is a very sought after and a desirable quality that almost all the organizations seek in their potential and present employees. Even if we leave the workplace setting aside, the EI is an important and useful aspect of everyoneโ€™s life. It affects how we manage behaviour, social complexities and make personal decisions to achieve positive results.

There are two primary competencies of emotional intelligence:
(a) Personal competenceโ€“ the ability to be aware of oneโ€™s emotions and manage oneโ€™s behaviour. It comprises of self -awareness and self- management.
Self-awareness is the ability of a person to accurately perceive their emotions and stay aware of them as they happen.
Self-management is the ability of a person to use the awareness of emotions to direct and guide their behaviour.
(b) Social competenceโ€“ the ability of a person to understand other peopleโ€™s moods, behaviour, and motives in order to improve the quality of your relationships.
Social- awareness is your ability to accurately realise emotions in other people and understand what is really going on.
Relationship management is your ability to use awareness of your emotions and the othersโ€™ emotions to manage interactions successfully.

Emotional Intelligence is extremely important since a number of other qualities and attributes depend on it.
Following are some of the areas in which the EI plays a vital role:

  1. Mental wellbeing
    Emotional intelligence affects how we perceive and behave to our and otherโ€™s emotions. It affects our outlook to life. High EI results in better management of stress and anxiety and itโ€™s also believed to be correlated with a higher positive attitude.
  2. Relationships
    With better personal and social competence, comes better ability to manage oneโ€™s relationships. Being able to manage, communicate and understand emotions better will always give fruitful results to you be it the personal relationships or the professional one and relationships tend to grow stronger and better.
  3. Success
    Higher emotional intelligence helps one to be motivated and reduce procrastination, increase self-confidence, and improve our ability to focus on oneโ€™s goals. It also allows people to create support networks, overcome setbacks and gives the ability to bounce back. All of this has a positive impact on oneโ€™s success.
  4. Leadership
    The ability to understand what motivates others and then to use that information in a positive manner and build and maintain relationships makes those individuals better leaders in an organizational setting. An emotionally intelligent leader knows how to build a team strategically and how to motivate and encourage the team members to work towards fulfilment of the objectives. Thus, leading to higher performance of the entire team.
  5. Conflict resolution
    When an individual possesses the ability to understand and interpret othersโ€™ emotions, they can easily resolve a conflict. Better negotiations can be made because if you know what others want youโ€™ll be able to provide it to them in a better manner.
  6. Physical health: Stress and anxiety have both psychological as well as physical implications. When an individual is able to understand his/her emotion well, they can manage their stress and anxiety in an efficient manner and thus the physical health too gets benefited.
