Even a couple of years back, the majority of the world population did not have any 
idea about emotional intelligence. Thanks to the researchers and COVID and also to 
people who came out and talked openly about mental health issues that make people 
aware of emotional intelligence. We are human beings and subjected to emotions.
By denying that our emotions affect our lives, we ignore an essential part of our 
humanity. Emotional intelligence is as important as intellectual prowess, or probably 
even more significant. Because; it makes us learn the importance of empathy.
Some individuals possess emotional intelligence from a young age.
While some people acquire it throughout their lives through various experiences 
when they have an open mind. When you enter a room full of people, you can gauge 
the emotional levels of those people if you are an emotionally intelligent person.
Some people can be genuinely cheerful, while others may only appear happy, 
hiding their true emotions. An emotionally intelligent person knows the 
difference. Emotional intelligence cannot be measured on a scale, but 
psychologists can still put it down in measurements approximately.
Positive Effects of Emotional Intelligence
The greatest weapon an emotionally intelligent individual possesses is empathy. 
Empathy is a feeling that helps us identify common emotions in others. Empathy 
is a state of emotion where you can feel another human being going through the 
same emotions.
Empathy can bring peace in this world because it helps people to become more 
open and receptive to others’ problems without blaming them. It helps an 
individual understand another individual’s perspective. It teaches us to respect 
boundaries, and it also teaches us to respect others, even if they are different than 
us.
We must realize that no one likes being in an emotionally vulnerable position or 
emotionally damaged condition. Empathy can heal those damaged souls. 
Empathy also teaches us to be kind to others significant in restoring our faith in 
humanity.
Self-awareness can make you a better human being. Self-awareness can make 
one into a better leader. It is considered to be one of the most important skills of 
leadership. An emotionally intelligent individual is self-aware and even more 
receptive to others’ feelings. That person can assess the consequences of your 
actions.
Leaders can motivate his/her team members to increase their productivity when 
they are self-aware. Understanding yourself is crucial for living a balanced life. 
Knowing your core strengths and even limitations can make you successful in 
any endeavor.
Leaders should have realistic expectations from their employees. Self-awareness 
helps to cultivate that. To create a balance between his/her vision and the team’s 
productivity, the leader assesses how much work is needed to fulfill goals
A reflective, empathetic, observant, responsive, perceptive, self-controlled, and 
adaptable individual can always become a successful leader with effective 
problem-solving and decision-making skills. Becoming self-aware needs work. It 
requires a conscious decision to get to know yourself. This requires effort 
regularly. This will help lead a sensible life.
