emotional intelligence is another of those buzzworks that were popularized by management speak. It literally was a Harvard Business review thing, they took form some psychologist books because they wanted a metric to evaluate managers for the ability to motivate employees. and this was the 'new' metric they came up.
and now like everyone says it all the time like they are an expert on what it is, but they could not define if they are asked. it's yet another bullshit term people use to abuse one another and glorify themselves.
it's so dumb and mostly used by folks who want to blame others for their own lack of emotional intelligence, a sophisticated 'no but u'.
Émotionnel intelligence (for me ) : is the art to take in account the emotion of the people you speak to when speaking to them. Exemple being less exigent from people close to holiday. Knowing someone is overloaded and adapt demands. Identify communication trouble and the emotions of each protagonists in the situation you are tasked to solve.
for you, being the operative thing here.
other people have different definitions and behaviors. which might be at odds with yours.
in the USA it's basically a management strategy to optimize productivity, btw. And that's how most folks in common usage, see it. It's the ability to manipulate people to get shit you want out of them. So in that way, lying, deceiving, or other such behaviors, are very emotionally intelligent, because they an efficient means to the ends. making your workers feel nice makes them produce more.
... Short terme thinking. For it to work you have to ise contractor because you can swicht them once they see thru the bullshit.
