Emotional Intelligence is More Important than Cognitive Intelligence

Emotional intelligence or EI is the ability to understand and manage your own emotions, and those of the people around you. People with a high degree of emotional intelligence know what they’re feeling, what their emotions mean, and how these emotions can affect other people. It includes a capacity of an individual to aware of, control and express their feelings to manage personal and professional relationships. Cognitive intelligence is defined as capability of person plan and solve problems by using complex ideas. The topic of my assignment is “emotional intelligence is more important than cognitive intelligence in influencing an individual, s success”. I am completely agree with this statement because emotional intelligence is most important than cognitive intelligence. Firstly, emotion is a major factor that contribute collaboration and working as a team in every field because if a person has control on their feelings and contributing energy to control temperament it results less frustration and successful control over multicultural teamwork within workplace. For instance: sometimes there are so many conflicts between team members regarding self concept or distribution of work that leads to complexity quarrel, incorporation and influence productivity of goal but really it does not happen when each member of the organisation has ability to control feelings.

Secondly, physical health is also affected by psychological or emotional health of a person. If we are always in tension or disoriented to our goal body feel low energetic and prone to illness. Those who are unable to control strain and pressure of a work that causes harm to the body or it have also bad impact on to achieve the goal. For example: a person has tension regarding cooperation with staff member to work together it results he left the job or fell lethargic and sick.

Moving forward, if an individual have strong emotions to manage complicated situations and work without stressful condition or those who have self awareness about their co-workers to achieve the common goal it results, be a good leader. To exemplify: leaders have capacity to identify problem, take decisions, multitasking and multicultural perception to analyze the community problems, emotions of society people and knowledge about how the behaviour of one person affect others.

In conclusion, I would like to say that emotional intelligence has large prospective than the cognitive intelligence in our work performance. it is true long performance maintain by cognitive but for achieving success in life without complication to control and manage your emotions.
