Emotional Intelligence
in the Workplace
-- Nigamananda Biswas and Sonit Dutta
Emotional intelligence describes an ability, capacity, skill, or self-perceived ability to
identify, assess, and manage the emotions of oneself, of others, and of groups. In the
workplace, success seems to hinge on intelligence, logical capabilities, and job-related skills, rather
than what we do with our emotions. It becomes important to understand what we and others
are feeling, how to manage our own feelings and the relationships with others. Thus,
emotional intelligence is the outcome of effective communication between the rational and
emotional centers of the brain.
