 Emotional Intelligence and Emotional Leadership L Emotional Quotient EQ and Emotional Intelligence Quotient EQ is the capability of individuals to recognize their own emotions and those of others, discerned between different feelings and label them appropriately, use emotional information to guide thinking and behavior, and manage and slash or adjust emotions too. Adapt to Environments or Achieve One's Goal S Although the term first appeared in a 1960 for paper by Michael Belduck, it gained popularity in the 1995 book by that title, written by author and science journalist Daniel Goldman. Since this time, AI and Goldman's 1995 analysis, have been criticized within the scientific community, despite prolific reports of its usefulness in the popular press. Empathy is typically associated with ETI, because it relates to an individual connecting their personal experiences with those of others. However, the number of models exist that aim to measure levels of empathy ETI. There are currently several models of ETI. Goldman's original model may now be considered a mixed model that combines what has since been modeled separately as Ability ETI and Trait ETI. Goldman defined ETI as the array of skills and characteristics that drive leadership performance. The Trait model was developed by Konstantin Vasily Petrides in 2001. It encompasses behavioral dispositions and self-perceived abilities and is measured through self-report. The Ability model, developed by Peter Solovey and John Mayer in 2004, focuses on the individual's ability to process emotional information and use it to navigate the social environment. Studies have shown that people with high ETI have greater mental health, job performance, and leadership skills. Although no causal relationships have been shown and such findings are likely to be attributable to general intelligence and specific personality traits rather than emotional intelligence as a construct. For example, Goldman indicated that ETI accounted for 67 percent of the abilities deemed necessary for superior performance in leaders, and mattered twice as much as technical expertise or IQ. Other research finds that the effect of ETI on leadership and managerial performance is nonsignificant when ability and personality are controlled for, and that general intelligence correlates very closely with leadership. Markers of ETI and methods of developing it have become more widely coveted in the past decade.By whom questioned Mark when? In addition, studies have begun to provide evidence to help characterize the neural mechanisms of emotional intelligence. Researches have centered on whether ETI is a real intelligence and whether it has incremental validity over IQ and the big five personality traits.
