Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is the
ability to sense, understand, and effectively apply the power
and acumen of emotions as a source of energy, information,
creativity, trust and connection. -— Esther M.Orioli and
Robert K. Cooper, Q-Metrics.
"Emotional intelligence, or EQ, is another
kind of "smarts." It's the resilience to perform under pressure,
the trust to build fruitful relationships, the courage to
make decisions and the vision to create the future. EQ is
about leadership and creativity, and it is a skill that can
be learned. Once you can notice feelings and identify their
source, you have tapped into one of the most powerful of the body's
intelligences." Essi Systems Inc. |
