EQ often times outplays IQ….
It’s all about knowing when not to say what…
Innocuous suggestions put forth at inopportune times could prove expensive, while, acerbic remarks made at the right moment could win accolades!
It might seem unfair or counter-intuitive! But it really boils down to how well or otherwise you are able to perceive the atmosphere you find yourself in!
Emotional Quotient is what determines how well you do in life… It is about understanding the human dynamic… not just about how much you know or how accurate your assessment is!
End of the day, you are dealing with people! And dealing with people calls for Emotional Intelligence….
Expand your definition of intelligence to include the emotional aspect…. It’s far better to keep problems isolated to the technical realm than to let them bleed into the human realm!
