The 15 Traits of Emotional Intelligence

A person's outstanding performance depends on his or her many qualities, such as foresight and professional knowledge. However, the most important key to truly make a person stand out and become a successful leader is emotional intelligence (also known as emotional quotient or EQ).

These people can not only control their own emotions, but also know how to deal with others' emotions, so that people are willing to follow them.

But What is Emotional Intelligence?

• High EQ is a good attitude, good temper, and all-round?

• Does high emotional intelligence mean being able to talk and make others feel more comfortable?

Of course, none of the above is true and EQ is not just equal to:

1. Interpersonal skills

2. Know how to talk and comfort others

3. Calculating + sophisticated

EQ is a kind of comprehensive ability, he covers emotion, will, withstand setbacks and other qualities. It is the ability to understand, see and control emotions.
