NEED FOR THE STUDY
Emotional intelligence is important because it minimises the chance of interpersonal conflict and it will improve how one interacts socially with others. The higher the emotional intelligence one has, the better the social relations one will have. The ability to take care of our body and especially to manage our stress, which has an incredible impact on our overall wellness, is heavily tied to our emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence affects our attitude and outlook on life. It can also help to alleviate anxiety and avoid depression and mood swings. By better understanding and managing our emotions, we are better able to communicate our feelings in a more constructive way. We are also better able to understand and relate to those with whom we are in relationship. Understanding the needs, feelings, and responses of those we care about leads to stronger and more fulfilling relationship.
The ability to understand what motivates others, relate in a positive manner, and to build stronger bonds with others in the workplace inevitably makes those with higher emotional intelligence better leaders. An emotionally stable and intelligent leader is also able to build stronger teams by strategically utilizing the emotional diversity of their team members to benefit the team as a whole.
