Background Information:
The term “emotional intelligence” first gained popularity after the 1995 publication of Daniel Goleman’s book Emotional Intelligence, Why It Can Matter More Than IQ. Since then, leaders have been using emotional intelligence concepts to better approach difficult situations and make better decisions. Simply put, emotional intelligence is one’s capacity to be aware of and express emotions and make interpersonal adjustments based on that awareness.
