Emotional Intelligence is what people need to have. Emotional Intelligence can be used in many aspects of our lives.
In this world, Emotional Intelligence plays a big part in recruitment of jobs. Employee does not look at the skills of employers. They look for employers attitude and character. Most importantly, the inner capabilities. Maybe people will be wondering what "inner capabilities" are? It simply refers to the special capabilities that people have in their character. Some simple examples are to build relationship with one another, the ability to finish or rush work when facing pressure and etc. Employees need people who have the attitude or commitment towards the work they are assigned to rather than skills. It is believed that people who have the attitude or commitment will do the job whole heartedly rather than those who have skills and slack off. In addition, when they have the attitude, this shows that they have the similar attitude towards learning to upgrade themself with more experience. Therefore, this is one of the main reason why employees are now looking for such people as they feel that it is more worth while to find these "treasures" where they have the inner capability. Skills can be taught and it is much more easier than learning skills than Emotional Intelligence.
Positive working attitude is important and this sector falls under EQ which is also known as Emotional Intelligence. One good example of a group of people who have high EQ are teachers. Even though statistically it may not be through but teachers are very good in building relationship skills. They can easily communicate with students and know what we like. Students at this generations do not look forward to boring lessons. In fact teachers are now trying to change the style of teaching to bring up the lively classroom environment. How can they do it? Teachers basically will find out what students prefer for the lesson to be teached. Once again, it requires communication skills and the ability to understand students' needs and wants. Students now do not prefer boring and experienced teachers. In fact, they prefer teachers who can make lessons interesting and yet experienced. In this situation, we can see that how Emotional Intelligence have caused a great impact in the educational sector.
In conclusion, I personally feel that Emotional Intelligence is something we need to groom ourself with personally. People would prefer working towards a interesting journey using EQ rather than going by theory. Individuals would be able to improve on their own character to blend into any environment when they are being placed in using EQ.
