Picture a manager who never loses his/her temper no matter what situation he/she is facing. Think of someone who you like to talk to, respect their opinion and admire their calm approach to life. This person has high levels of Emotional Intelligence (EI). This individual knows how to manage his/her emotions and regulate the emotions of others. People with high EI (whatever role they perform) can positively engage and involve others by successfully tuning into their behaviors, feelings and thinking. If you are a manager (leader), EI can be a very useful tool for getting the best out of your team, colleagues, students and friends. Through utilization of EI tools, you can not only become a better manager but you can also become a better human being.
