What Exactly Is EQ

A form of social intelligence that involves the

ability to monitor one's own and others' feelings
and emotions, to discriminate among them and to
use this information to guide one's thinking and
actions
Salovey and Mayer 1990
 The Indian Perspective
“
Emotional intelligence is the ability of an individual to
appropriately and successfully respond to a vast variety
of emotional inputs being elicited from inner self and
immediate environment. Emotional intelligence
constitutes three psychological dimensions such as
emotional competency, emotional maturity and
emotional sensitivity, which motivate an individual to
recognize truthfully, interpret honestly and handle
tactfully the dynamics of human behaviour”. (Dalip
Singh 2003)
 IQ v/s EQ

 The research shows

that IQ can help you to
be successful to the 20%
extent of 20 percent IQ
only in life. The rest
of 80 percent success 80%
depends on your EQ EQ
 Team Performance
When a team engages emotional and social intelligence to
produce its work effectively, members benefit from what we
call Collaborative Intelligence.
In a team, “the ability to understand one another’s emotional
expressions explained 40 percent of the variance in team
performance.”

Teams with greater average EI have higher team functioning

than groups with lower EI averages.
