People often confuse emotionality with emotional intelligence. The presence of emotions is just a basic set of the psyche. But emotional intelligence is already the flexibility of the human emotional sphere + the ability to distinguish one’s own emotions and feelings and feelings of other people + the ability to use this knowledge for communication. EQ is a skill that can and should be pumped, but you need to start by understanding your own emotional sphere.
Interestingly, in recent years, when searching for top managers, they have paid more attention to EQ than IQ. That is, the technical knowledge of a specialist is no longer considered the main criterion of a professional level. There is even the slang term toxic star - "toxic star". This is a brilliant specialist in his field, with whom it is impossible to cooperate normally through his personality and psychology. The current trend in the world of big business is simply to fire such people.
Very soon, many robots in production will be occupied by automated robots and artificial intelligence, and people will remain the strategic center. The performance of such centers will depend primarily on the successful communication of a large number of people. In the world of the future, IQ is worth nothing without EQ. Therefore, investing in your emotional intelligence is just as important as in your professional skills.
