Emotional Intelligence

[Juliusanderson]

There are a lot of arguments about the definition of EI, arguments that regard both terminology and operationalizations. One attempt toward a definition was made by Salovey and Mayer (1990) who defined EI as “the ability to monitor one's own and others' feelings and emotions, to discriminate among them and to use this information to guide one's thinking and actions.”

Despite this early definition, there has been confusion regarding the exact meaning of this construct. The definitions are so varied, and the field is growing so rapidly, that researchers are constantly amending even their own definitions of the construct. Up to the present day, there are three main models of EI:

* Ability EI models
* Mixed models of EI
* Trait EI model


In your views how EQ can effect your way of managing thoughts?

Personally I think that no matter what industry you shouldn't have to trick or discriminate against anyone to have your view point accepted.

The best way for people to get on board I believe is to show them the problem, show them how your solution has worked in the past with others, and finally show them how your solution will work with them and what they will get in return.

Just be open and honest and the rest will fall into place.

I believe EQ plays an important role in each individuals thoughts. If leveraged correctly, it can lead to creativity and innovation.
