What is emotional intelligence
Emotional intelligence is a skill that enables us to understand and manage emotions, both
our own and those of others. It consists of four main elements:
- Self-awareness
- Emotional regulation
- Empathy
- Relationship management
Self-awareness concerns the ability to recognise and express one's emotions
appropriately, without repressing or stifling feelings.
Emotional regulation is the ability to control emotions so that we do not
prevent effective action.
Empathy is about the ability to understand the emotions of others and to put oneself at their
place, trying to understand their point of view. Finally, relationship management is the ability
to handle social interactions in a positive and constructive manner. Emotional intelligence is therefore
a combination of skills that enable us to manage emotions and interact in
effective way with others.
