• Self-awareness: This is your ability to read your own emotions accurately to know how your actions or lack thereof affect others.
• Self-management: This is your ability to control or regulate your emotions and act with integrity.
• Social-awareness: Gives you the ability to understand the needs of others and show empathy towards them.
• Relationship management: this is your ability to communicate clearly and convincingly, reduce conflict and build strong bonds.

Step 2 – Post a Response

Respond to the following.

1. How has your emotional intelligence, or lack of emotional intelligence, positively or negatively impacted your professional or personal relationships?
2. Choose one of the components of EI and explain how it contributes to job satisfaction
