7. A Definition
The term emotional intelligence was officially coined in 1990
by Salovey and Mayer
Emotional Intelligence/Quotient is “the capacity for
recognizing our own feelings and those of others, for
motivating ourselves, and for managing emotions well in
ourselves and in our relationships. Emotional intelligence
describes abilities distinct from, but complementary to,
academic intelligence.”
- Daniel Goleman (1998)

8. So why EI is important?
• Some research shows that
IQ can help you to be
successful to the extent of
20 percent only in life.
The rest of 80 percent
success depends on your
EQ.

9. Is EI something new?
No…it has always been there…we just have been better at defining it…
“That man is disciplined and happy who can prevail over the turmoil that springs from
desire and anger, here on earth …” Hindu text Bhagavad-Gita, 1000 B.C.E
There are TWO dimensions of emotions:
Physiological side: ‘Emotion’ is a complex state of human mind, involving
bodily changes of widespread character such as breathing, pounding
heart, flushed face, sweating palms, pulse rate, gland secretions, etc.
Psychological side, a state of excitement or perturbation marked by
strong feelings.
