Some Considerations regarding Emotional Intelligence
Abstract
Emotions are equivalent to “the spirit that moves us”. These can lead us to a better mobilization, no matter how logical and rational we are, even if we are on the wrong paths. Although it is frequently discussed about emotional intelligence, it has not yet reached its full strength. We still continue to focus on education, self-improvement, intelligence, experience and we still think that the intellect is separate from emotions, even superior to them. Things would be different if we understand that intellect and emotions are not mutually exclusive, but have a similar importance and impact in our lives. The purpose of this paper is to highlight the reasons why emotional intelligence is decisive in professional success, but also in personal life.
