Daniel Goleman, an American psychologist who popularized Emotional Intelligence (EI), talks about five main elements of emotional intelligence; Self-awareness, Empathy, Motivation, Self Regulation and Social Skills. To be an effective manager, one must have a concrete understanding of how your emotions and actions affect the people around them. The better a leader relates to and works with others, the more successful he or she will be. Take the time to work on self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills. Emotional Intelligence training will help managers to work in these areas so that they can excel in future.
