Emotional Intelligence
In this assignment I will discuss the relevance of Emotional intelligence. I will also discuss how Emotional intelligence is preferred over the Intelligence quotient also known as your i.q. Many scientists believe that emotional intelligence trumps your i.q. because; it helps to propel you through life. Your emotional intelligence is what separates you from the other guy. I will use some examples such as John Maxwell and Lee Iacocca to support my claim.
Emotional intelligence is an important commodity to have when seeking success in life. Have you ever wondered why those voted most likely to succeed in high school seldom do? I know I have and, I have also noticed those who were picked on in high school most of their life, but endured through it all usually wind up being successful. I remember getting picked on by children who displayed or emulated “thug like behavior”. If not all, most of them ended up in jail, and I have heard of some of them even dying at an early age. They had to get this behavior from somewhere, right? I always knew that these children that were voted most likely to succeed or displayed bad behavior problems would probably not succeed. I know now the text book term for their failure, they did not possess the emotional intelligence to overcome hardships in their life, or hit those tricky curve balls that present themselves in our lives. In my test results I was not all surprised to find out that I scored high in the emotional intelligence department. I already know what my problem is. I try to take on too much and overlook the details. I am most likely confident to a fault, and put things off to the last minute. But, I am getting better with that and practicing sitting down and completing a task hitting the smaller details as well. I am also a big thinker and analyze, but very impulsive and strong willed. I find myself reading a lot of motivational books
