-Theodore Roosevelt
Emotional intelligence is defined as a persons ability to recognize their own feelings and emotions, as well as those around them and to then adapt their behavior to their surroundings. As a young professional, I have been focusing more on my soft skills, such as emotional intelligence in order to adapt to my future workplaces.
Traditionally, the focus of success has been based around a person's IQ, their grades, and how well they master subject matters. I feel as though this changes as you advance in life and approach your career.
I found this graphic on the qualities that allow a person to be emotionally intelligent. Personally, one quality that I want to focus on in the near future is Social Skill, especially from a networking point of view.
