Another Intelligence

Emotion intelligence as a theory , was bought to public attention by the book Emotional

Intelligence ,Why It Can Matter More Than IQ by Daniel Goleman.According to Goleman , Emotional
Intelligence consists of five key elements . The first is knowing one’own emotions :being able to
recognize a certain emotional state and having the ability to identify which emotion is being
experienced .Second, emotion awareness can then lead to managing one’s emotions .This involves
dealing with emotions that are difficult to accept when one is feeling low .Many people do this by
treating themselves ; others are able to wrap themselves in positive thoughts .But there are , of

course, many people who are incapable of doing this , and so need to be taught. The third area is
self motivation.Our emotions can either empower or hinder us , so it is important to develop the
ability to control them .Strategies can be learnt whereby emotions are set aside to be dealt with at
a later date.For example , when dealing with success or good fortune of others , it is better not too
suppress any “negative” emotion that arises .What is more , one just needs to be extra careful when
making decisions and not allowed one’s emotions to cloud the issues , by letting them show how one
solves a problem with that person .The separation ofn logic and emotion is not easy when dealing
with people . The last element is recognising emotions in other people .This means , having or
developing “social radar” , liking learning to read the weather systems around individuals or groups
of people .Obviously , leading on from this is the ability to handle relationships .If we can recognise ,
understand and then deal with other people’ s emotions , we can function better both socially and
professionally .
