Does IQ define our destiny? In his groundbreaking bestseller, Daniel Goleman argues that our view of human intelligence is far too narrow. It is not our IQ, but our emotional intelligence that plays a major role in thought, decision-making and individual success. Self-awareness, impulse control, persistence, motivation, empathy and social deftness: all are qualities that mark people who excel, whose relationships flourish, who can navigate difficult conversations, who become stars in the workplace.

These neurotransmitters influence our thoughts and our ability to control how we feel and behave. Dopamine is linked to emotional intelligence by increasing the motivation that is vital to improve or change your EQ. Exercise can cause a dopamine boost. Then, there is oxytocin, which increases when we connect or bond with others. Mothers increase oxytocin when breastfeeding, or it can also increase in any situation where there is a connection with others. Gaining new social skills with others has a big impact on oxytocin production resulting in feeling connected and even calmer, which leads us onto S for serotonin.
Serotonin is an important neurotransmitter; when produced, it helps regulate mood and influences social behavior. There may be a link between serotonin and depression and there are several SSRIs (serotonin reuptake inhibitors) that are a kind of psychiatric drug. Serotonin can also be increased through training in emotional intelligence, and we can naturally regulate our mood.
Abstract:Based on the theory of social change, cultural evolution, and human development, we propose a mechanism whereby increased danger in society causes predictable shifts in valued forms of intelligence: 1. Practical intelligence rises in value relative to abstract intelligence; and 2. social intelligence shifts from measuring how well individuals can negotiate the social world to achieve their personal aims to measuring how well they can do so to achieve group aims. We document these shifts during the COVID-19 pandemic and argue that they led to an increase in the size and strength of social movements.Keywords: intelligence; social movements; theory of social change, cultural evolution, and human development; social intelligence; practical intelligence; abstract intelligence; COVID-19; cultural evolution; adaptive intelligence; George Floyd protests
Emotional intelligence and project success are positively correlated. The key attributes of emotional intelligence include self-awareness, the capability to regulate emotions, motivation, possession of social skills, and empathy. An emotionally intelligent person can understand his or her emotions and control them while remaining motivated. He or she should have the capacity to understand the emotions of others and manage relationships effectively. By its very nature, project management entails implementing change. Often, employees and other stakeholders might resist the change or fail to give it the required support. Therefore, having an emotionally intelligent manager is imperative as he or she can anticipate any issues and address them. Emotional intelligence also enhances the communication and leadership capabilities of the individual. Overall, the study recommends that organizations should include emotional intelligence in the hiring and recruitment processes of project managers. 2ff7e9595c
