Emotional Intelligence

An effective employee is one who is able to deal with his peers  in a way which boosts their morale. His communication skills much be encouraging and motivating enough for him to win the loyalty and support of his subordinates. He should be a good team player and must be able to guide his team to success. For this it is said that he must have a high EQ.

EQ (Emotional Intelligence) which is also known as social intelligence is needed for good interpersonal competence and man management skills.  Emotional Intelligence is an ability to sense the impact of his words, behaviour, actions and habits on people around him. This sense helps him adapt to the situation and change his ways to achieve trust, loyalty and support of his team members, family and friends.

It is said that a high IQ may help you in getting good education and knowledge but does not guarantee success in life or career. For success you need EQ. One of the competencies needed to have a good EQ is being open and sensitive to feedback.  

Technical competencies are primary for a trainee, but as he move up in career, and forms his team and has people reporting to him, his technical competencies become secondary and interpersonal relationship skills and man-management skills become primary.
