Figure 1.1 Definition of emotional intelligence from Google Definition
In my personal opinion, I strongly believe that emotional intelligence is important in interpersonal communication. I feel that one needs to be mindful and in control of their own emotions before being able to communicate effectively in a conversation between two or more parties. Before I continue, Figure 1.2 below by Daniel Goleman's might aid you in the further understanding of emotional intelligence.
Figure 1.2 Daniel Goleman's five components of emotional intelligence
As stated by Daniel Goleman's five components of emotional intelligence in Figure 1.2, there is a co-relation between a person's self awareness, self management, social awareness and relationship management which I believe to be essential in achieving emotional intelligence that could affect the communication among different parties.
It is essential to have a clear perception of one's own emotions before trying to discover those around them. By truly knowing oneself, only then will one be able to manage and be in control of their own emotions. These will also open one's awareness towards their surroundings. They will be able to understand other people emotions better and thus, developing a better response during a conversation. Once one conquered self awareness, self management and social awareness, only then will they be better at managing relationships.
With this new found knowledge in mind, I am motivated to find other ways to enhance my emotional intelligence so that I could communicate more effectively and be able to better manage relationships.
