Why is emotional intelligence important to students and leaders

Answers

-Emotional intelligence helps you build stronger relationships, succeed at work, and achieve your career and personal goals.
-If you have high emotional intelligence you are able to recognize your own emotional state and the emotional states of others, and engage with people in a way that draws them to you. You can use this understanding of emotions to relate better to other people, form healthier relationships, achieve greater success at work, and lead a more fulfilling life.
-One of the things that motivate me to be a better leader is having a positive effect on people.
-Emotional intelligence is a powerful tool and I hope to continue to understand how it can contribute to exceeding goals, improving critical work relationships, and create a healthy, productive workplace and organizational culture.
-A leader lacking in emotional intelligence is not able to effectively gauge the needs, wants and expectations of those they lead.

-Leaders who react from their emotions without filtering them can create mistrust amongst their staff and can seriously jeopardize their working relationships.

-Reacting with erratic emotions can be detrimental to overall culture, attitudes and positive feelings toward the company and the mission. Good leaders must be self aware and understand how their verbal and non-verbal communication can affect the team.

-Emotional intelligence is widely known to be a key component of effective leadership. Understanding how the brain operates and how the emotional response system works should also be a factor in where we place team members within our organizations.

-Being able to relate behaviors and challenges of emotional intelligence on workplace performance is an immense advantage in building an exceptional team.
-One of the most common factors that lead to retention issues is communication deficiencies that create disengagement and doubt.
