Emotional Quotient or also known as Emotional Intelligence defined as “The capacity to recognize our own feelings and those of others, to motivate ourselves, and to manage emotions well in ourselves and in our relationships with others' (Daniel Goleman). IQ (Intelligence Quotient) has always been considered as the main determinant of one's success. Rosalie Holian from RMIT University once wrote "EQ Versus IQ: What's the Perfect Management Mix" which was published in The Conversation saying that people with high IQ tend to be good problem solvers.
They are also good at finding the best solution when faced with a new situation. However, talking about emotional intelligence also suggests; point shows that intelligence it's just not enough. You must be able to manage your emotions well. According to Goleman, emotional intelligence is a person's ability to recognize and feel the emotions experienced (emotional awareness), manage emotions, be able to do empathy (read emotions), build relationships with others and use them productively as a support for one's performance.
Goleman adapted 5 categories included in emotional intelligence, namely:
1. Self-Intelligence (Recognizing one's emotions)
Self-awareness is the ability to feel emotions in a timely manner and the ability to understand trends in situations. Self-awareness states one's ability to master reactions to various events, challenges, even certain people.
2. Emotional Regulation (Managing emotions)
Managing your emotions means understanding them, then using that understanding to deal with situations productively, rather than suppressing your emotions and depriving yourself of the valuable information that your emotions convey to you. Managing emotions means handling feelings so that feelings can be expressed appropriately, this is a skill that relies heavily on self-awareness. Emotions are said to be successfully managed when: able to comfort oneself when saddened, able to release anxiety, depression or irritability and bounce back quickly from all of that.
3. Motivation (Self-motivation)
Motivation is the driving force that causes a member of the organization to be willing and willing to mobilize abilities in the form of expertise and skills, energy and time to carry out various activities for which they are responsible and fulfill their obligations, in order to achieve predetermined organizational goals and objectives. Motivation can come from within a person (internal motivation or intrinsic motivation), but can also come from outside the person concerned (external motivation or extrinsic motivation).
4. Empathy (recognizing other people's emotions)
If a person is open to his own emotions, it is certain that he will be skilled at reading other people's feelings. Conversely, people who are unable to adjust to their own emotions will certainly not be able to respect the feelings of others.
5. Social Skills (building relationships)
Social skills are an important aspect of emotional intelligence. Social skills can be acquired with lots of practice. One of the key social skills is how well or badly a person expresses his own feelings.
Therefore, to be able to master the skills to relate to other people (social skills) another emotional maturity is needed, namely self-control and empathy. People who have high or good emotional intelligence are people who are always optimal and always think positively, skilled in fostering their emotions, optimal in emotional intelligence skills, optimal in empathy values and optimal in general health. Intelligence emotional closely related to a person's ability to be able to process their own and other people's emotions, because individuals who are able to manage their emotions well, they are able to express anger without having to fight, not be aggressive, have positive feelings about themselves, and are able to improve relationships with others .
