Emotional intelligence.
'Emotional intelligence affects just about everything you do at work, even when you work in a solitary setting, how well you work has a lot to do with how well you discipline and motivate yourself.' 'Emotional intelligence matters twice as much as technical and analytic skill combined for star performances, and the higher people move up in the company, the more crucial emotional intelligence becomes.' Daniel Golman Emotional intelligence (EI) is sometimes referred to as emotional quotient or emotional literacy. Emotional Intelligence is defined as the personal, social and emotional skills that influence your ability to succeed with increased demands and pressure at work & home. Increasingly, Emotional Intelligence is being recognized as the critical success factor in career and life effectiveness. The term was coined in 1990 by psychologists John Mayer and Peter Salovey. In 1995, psychologist/journalist Daniel Goleman published the highly successful Emotional Intelligence, which built on Mayer and Salovey's work and popularized the EI concept. Individuals with emotional intelligence are able to relate to others with compassion and empathy, have well-developed social skills, and use this emotional awareness to direct their actions and behavior. Is emotional intelligence as important as claimed? Can the concept be successfully applied to human resource management issues?
Emotional Intelligence
Emotional Intelligence Emotional intelligence can help or hinder the pursuit of knowledge in various ways. Clearly, there are two sides to this argument, since there are attributes of both sides that could be defended. However, this essay will determine the different ways emotional intelligence helps and hinders the pursuit of knowledge. Since this is a very broad topic, for argument purposes, Daniel Goleman's definition of emotional intelligence shall be used. Goleman claims five major components to emotional intelligence: 1) knowing one's feelings and using them to make good decisions, 2) the ability to manage distressing moods and control impulses, 3) being motivated and remaining hopeful and optimistic during setbacks and working toward goals 4) knowing what people around oneself are feeling, and 5) getting along well with other people, managing emotions in relationships and persuading or leading others (Goleman, 62). Thus, the emotional quotient measures self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills. (((What is Emotion? The term emotion has been derived from the Latin 'emover', which may be translated to move, to excite or to agitate. Today, the term emotion is used as an umbrella to any subjective experience. One uses the term to express love, hate, attraction, aggression, or any other such feelings. Sorrow and joy, disappointment
Emotional Development.
Emotional Development Emotional development the development of a child's emotions. Children need to learn how to control their emotions in order to be acceptable within the community that they live. Emotional development is linked with other areas, but particularly social development. Positive and negative emotions Every one experiences both positive and negative emotions and these feelings can often get mixed up. Positive emotions e.g. happiness, joy, pleasure, love and excitement, need to be encouraged. Negative emotions, e.g. anger, hate, guilt, jealousy and impatience should be controlled. All these emotions are going to be felt at some time and the child needs to learn how to control these feelings. Parents or carers should be aware that children should be allowed to express these emotions through play so that they can experience positive and negative feelings. Parents or carers should provide opportunities for their child to play in this way, as it will encourage him or her independence. The child's personality The child's personality develops gradually over a long period of time-up to five years. Babies and young children under the age of two years think that they are the most important person, and that everything and everybody revolves around them After the age of two years, children begin to respond to those around them. They start to care for younger
Emotional development
Emotional development Emotional development is the development of the Childs ability to control their feelings. Emotions are very hard for a child to express; they usually use facial expressions to show how they feel. There are good emotions and negative emotions for example; contentment, humour, eagerness, love and delight are positive emotions, whereas anger, jealousy, fear, hate, sadness and depression are negative emotions. These emotions can be shown in different ways. If we are happy, then we laugh or smile, if we are frightened, we may cry or scream. Our emotions are influenced by our inborn temperament, which depends on the genes a child inherits. For example some children are naturally excitable. It also depends on their environment, which is the surroundings their in and the conditions they grow up in. finally it is influenced by the child's state of health. So when a baby is ill they will have different feelings to when they are feeling well. There is another factor that in most cases affects some of the child's emotions and this is whether the child is a boy or a girl because boys are taught to hide their emotions whereas girls are taught to show how they feel and to express their emotions. For proper emotional development a child needs the love and affection of their parents, family, other adults it depends on and perhaps friends. The feeling

When my aunt told him that your brother is here he couldn't remember that he had a brother. My uncle was so
What is Emotional Intelligence
"Anyone can become angry - that is easy. But to be angry with the right person, to the right degree, at the right time, for the right purpose, and in the right way - this is not easy." ~ By Aristotle, The Nicomachean Ethics ~ Traditionally, management were only interested on return on investment (ROI) and shareholder value, not the neurobiology of emotions doing business. However, in modern days, there is probably nothing as important as having good human relationships in the workplace. Whether one is a chief executive officer, a consultant, a manager or team member, achieving results requires a productive working relationship with others. As such, having positive and sustainable human relationships is the bedrock for business effectiveness. According to Goleman, "Emotional Quotient (EQ) defines our capacity for relationship (Goldmen 1995)" and added, "Rational intelligence only contributes about 20% to the factors that determine success in life. Some extraneous factors such as luck, and particularly the characteristics of EQ, constitute the other 80% (Goldmen 1995)." WHAT IS EMOTIONAL QUOTIENT? By themselves, the discoveries in Emotional Quotient (EQ) are not new. Over the centuries, there have been numerous studies conducted to understand the workings 'emotions' and its practical importance. One of the earliest historical literature recordings dates back to 1st century

What are the underlying psychological assumptions raised by the source? The article 'don't let robots be child minders' from the source 'Metro dated Thursday June 5th 2008' raises a number of assumptions in relation to development, emotion and the effects of attachment towards children. One assumption which can be inferred from the source could be 'parents are leaving robots to look after their children' which may be related to Maslow's theory of hierarchy of needs. Maslow's hierarchy of needs consists of 5 levels which are physiological (necessities of life), safety (security of employment, family and health), love (of friends and family), esteem (having confidence, self esteem and respect). The last level being self actualization in which people accept facts and lack prejudice. It is suggested that once a level has been fulfilled it no longer becomes a priority to an individual and that comfort is more important than physical needs as these are higher in the hierarchy of needs. Therefore, would leaving children with robots be sensible? Robots aren't human and are unable to cater to higher levels in Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Robots cannot give children comfort and support like human individuals which then leaves children deprived from social development, this leads onto the next assumption. Describe and relate some psychological evidence to the source. Harlow and
Social and emotional development.
Social and emotional development Social and emotional development plays an important role to help children in their overall development, a child's social and emotional development has significant implications for current and later social functioning, for educational, and employment success. A child with poor social and emotional development is at risk of poor relationships with peers, academic problems, of later involvement in crime, of developing physical health and adult mental health problems. The key to social and emotional development is the child's early relationship with parents/caregivers. Efforts to support parents in understanding and fulfilling their children's emotional needs can help to provide a secure base from which to grow into well-rounded, capable adults with robust mental health. Within our peer group we focused upon self-esteem, personality and temperament, psychoanalytical perspectives and moral development. As a group we felt that they inter linked well with each other. The area of development that I will be focusing on is that of moral development it is an important part of our socialisation process learning what is right and wrong, in order that we fit into society first we must learn how to speak the language and customs of our society (Davenport 1994). Moral development is our conscience and ethics children learn at different ages what is
Emotional Intelligence
Competent In this essay I plan to discover and explain was emotional intelligence (EI) is and investigate its different roles within a group I have once been in. I will look into the group dynamics, investigate if there have been any discrimination within the group and suggest possible solutions we could have taken up at the time to dissolve the discriminations if any were present. EI is the ability to manage and recognising one's emotions and of others. The theory of EI is relatively new, from my research it appears to have originated with Wayne Payne in 1985 but made popular in 1995 by Daniel Goleman who has written several books about the subject matter and it's application to business. EI is the ability to recognise and understand the meanings of emotion and to solve problems on the basis of them. It can be measured by a test and it has become a popular method in workplaces in order to determine whether an applicant is hired or not. It was first used in 1956 within the American company AT&T. It's said that those with high levels of EI have a positive outlook and those with positive outlooks perform better at their jobs. This is probably why companies would consider making applicants take the EI test in order to hire the most positive person to keep the company going with staff who perform well. It is said that EI has five characteristics which are self-awareness, mood
Emotional Intelligence: The Right Smarts!
Emotional Intelligence: The Right Smarts! Recent years have seen a transformation in what scholars believe leads to success in the organizational setting. Organizational behaviorists have changed focus and are placing more emphasis on the way that people think and feel within organizations. Something called "emotional intelligence" is the major topic of interest nowadays as the sole importance of rational intelligence "IQ" is not as widely accepted. Emotional intelligence is merely a set of competencies that allow us to perceive, understand, and regulate emotions in ourselves and in others. The idea of emotional intelligence or sometimes regarded to as 'EI", is important in today's society where interactions within the workplace are ever more important. All of the articles that follow address key issues regarding the relevance of EI in today's organizations. According to many literatures, for example like that of Prati, Douglas, Ferris, Ammeter, and Buckley (2003), it is the emotional aspect which is the crucial benefactor to successful leadership and performance within organizations of today. This article along with others like Svyantek (2002), agree that intelligence needs to include more than just rational ability and that EI is definitely an important trait possessed by successful organizations. The article by Macaleer and Shannon (2002) also backs this fact that IQ
