Emotional intelligence (image source)                                                                 7 Habits of Highly Effective People (image source)

 Because it is not very comfortable to follow a reflection (reading all the comments) and because it is a relevant topic, and for the interest and participation shown I decided to create this article.

So, What is Emotional Intelligence?
Emotional intelligence is the ability to manage your emotions and understand both your emotions and the emotions of people around you.
People who are highly emotionally intelligent are aware of their own feelings, what those feelings mean, and how they affect other people around them.
They also have the ability to handle other people’s emotions, which is crucial for interpersonal relationships. 

There are five important elements to emotional intelligence:
1. Self-awareness

2. Self-regulation

3. Motivation

4. Empathy

5. Social Skills

The more of these you have in check, the higher your emotional intelligence is

Going deeper into each of the elements of emotional intelligence

1. Self-awareness
Self-awareness means always knowing what you feel and what your feelings mean.

You should also know how your feelings are affecting other people in your surroundings.
You need to understand your strengths and weaknesses and be aware of what you need to to use them both appropriately.

2. Self-regulation
Next step after understanding your emotions is being in control of them.

You need to be in control of your negative feelings and use them constructively to solve problems, not to scream or be angry.
 You also hold accountable.

3. Motivation
People with high emotional intelligence are also very good at motivating themselves without needing external support.

This means that they have a high quality standard for themselves and others.
People with high emotional intelligence set goals and motivate themselves to reach those goals. They also have a great ability to motivate others by understanding what motivates them on an individual level.

4. Empathy
Empathy is very important. You have to be able to put yourself into someone else’s shoes, understand them and approach them with something that they can relate to.

Empathy plays an important role in handling conflict, making people see the bigger picture, and motivating others.

5. Social skills
People who have great social skills are good communicators both in the sense of translating ideas to the others and listening to their needs and complaints.

They are very good at recognizing problems and very open to hearing both good and bad news. They also know how to praise others and how to criticize them constructively

Resume

In this article (the first in a series of three) we cover the concept and the 5 elements of emotional intelligence

We also had the opportunity to deepen each of these 5 elements

Dear Luis,

So this is were all your research on EI went :-) I like how your researched looped back to your original statement on EI and you sort of took us on a journey to reach this conclusion. It would be nice to see more practical examples of how EI can be applied to the PMO. Thanks for contributing.

I think emotional intelligence is a very interesting area of research.

Empathy facilitates communication. And I thought at the same time that we needed mutual trust.
It's sad that they can't believe each other. Mind doubting each other destroys relationships.
The attitude of "I trust you" plays a major role in controlling each other's feelings.

Funny, I think my Father gave me a Covey book when I was in High School, I didn't understand it till now. I'll have to go dig it up from the family home :-)

PMI did well in adding Emotional Intelligence to their curriculum because it’s the soft skill needed to increase the success of a project. It’s not only the summit that’s important, it’s the journey of how we get there and how we situate ourselves/others.

PS. Bill Gates: I choose a lazy person to do a hard job. Because a lazy person will find an easy way to do it.
