Employees should not be promote only the basis of skills set and for how long they have been
working in the organization but also based on their emotional quotient as it is often said the
emotional intelligence is twice more important than technical knowledge. Maintaining
relationships are integral for a business to be successful which includes relationship not just
with clients but also other stakeholders like suppliers, employees etc. Our understanding of
emotional intelligence improves our relations with peers and also imbibes a deep sense of
personal fulfilment and professional success and therefore emotional intelligence is very
important in order to maintain long term relationship with peers.
Before the formation of a team it is important to know the technical knowledge and
emotional quotient of each and every member of the team. They must undergo a program so
that they can work in harmony and develop mutual trust. When working in a team emotional
intelligence plays a very integral role, people are of different skillsets and mind sets and
therefore there are many conflicts regarding various decisions and choices to be made and the
first thing that needs to accepted is the there will be difference of opinions. In a team,
emotions should be dealt with as soon as they arise because it is very important in order to
develop the foundation of the team. The performance of the team depends on how well are
work together in harmony.
The personality and emotions of certain people in the organization are contagious i.e. the
presence of the person boosts performance and productivity of other members by creating a
conducive environment. Our emotions contagious but what the trigger point for that is
mimicking other people's expressions so you go into a workplace where everyone's kind of
frowning you'll tend to start frowning too you go into workplace where people are happy not
be you'll tend to operate that way too. When we get infected by someone else's emotions it
stays with us, we carry through that day, we carry it home to our families, and we carry it into
work the next day and infect new people. When we see people happy around us we are happy
too whereas if people around us are sad or have a negative vibe, we will behave similarly too.
Emotions of a single member in the team can boost or hamper productivity. A good joke
often can cheer up employees and thereby creating a happy environment. People with high
emotional intelligence will know what will people find funny, when to use which phrase, and
how to balance serious work and light-heartedness which increases the employee morale.
People need to listen each other’s views, respond positively both verbally and through body
language. Even if one person wants to oppose the other he must do it in a way not hurting
others feelings and putting forth the point meant to go through. Also it is very important to be
an active listener, so that he can receive criticism and feedback in a positive spirit. One needs
to self-regulate his emotions and not let it affect the way he works with others thereby acting
against others even though they are not at fault.
An individual who is aware about his emotional state has better control over his actions and
therefore able to deal with it accordingly. Also a person who has gone through a situation
similar to that of his peer is more likely to understand the situation better and also help in deal
with it in a better way.
Emotional intelligence is an evitable quality in modern times. Different people have different
emotional quotients and can learn to improve it over time through timely evaluation and
feedback programs. Emotional intelligence is very important in order to maintain a balance
between professional and personal life and to maintain harmony in the both lives. The
importance of emotional intelligence is likely to increase in the future as it is going to be
increasingly vital to hold on to good employees due to lack of specialists and labour force,
especially in a growing economy like India.
