Emotional Intelligence (EQ) can be more important than IQ when it comes to professional success and life fulfillment in general.
Most agree on and work within the framework of Daniel Goleman’s original Emotional Intelligence model. His model contains 4 categories of learnable skills, two of which deal with the individual’s thoughts and behaviors (self awareness and self control), and two that deal with the world outside of the individual: Social Perception and Influence.
Daniel Goleman is an American psychologist who wrote the original book on Emotional Intelligence which we highly recommend.
