What does Emotional Intelligence Really Mean?
Emotional intelligence, or EQ, is not about being too sensitive, nor is it about talking too much about emotions and feelings.
EQ is about:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
These are skills, not personality traits. And skills can always be learned and developed. In fact, being able to recognize, understand, and communicate feelings has become one of the most stabilizing and attractive characteristics in a man and strengthens
relationships with loved ones.
A man who possesses emotional intelligence is not weak; he is aware of himself and his surroundings. This allows him to maintain composure in conflict situations and to communicate his needs and feelings in a way that is easily understood and reciprocated. This is not weakness; this is control.
