These days, people’s lives revolve around their gadgets, which makes them unaware of their immediate environment.

It is the ability to be empathic enough to know someone’s state of being and what triggers or stabilises their emotions and be guided by that information in relating with them. Emotionally intelligent people are more compassionate and can interpret people’s feelings, making them get along with people. This skill makes them more successful than those with no or little emotional intelligence. Therefore, this makes emotional intelligence worth studying and it is important in our everyday life.

An emotionally intelligent employee will always understand what negatively or positively triggers or stabilises the emotions of his employer and take appropriate steps to either eliminate negative triggers or invent stabilisers, just to create a peaceful atmosphere. As an employer, he/she can get the best out of his employees by putting in place people-friendly policies that motivate employees, which leads to better output or productivity. Emotional Intelligence eliminates the Boss-Servant relationship, where people feel superior or inferior to one another, and creates a Leader-Leader relationship, where everyone is treated with a great level of importance.
