Emotional intelligence can play a major role in the success of failure of a group activity (Cardon, 2013). Emotional intelligence is important because it effectively manages the emotions of the group. For instance, if each member of the group isn't capable of setting aside personal emotions it would be impossible to resolve any type of conflict within the group. Therefore, the group or project would not produce the necessary results. Groups that consist of members with high emotional intelligence typically produce superior outcomes. In the past, I worked for a company that consisted of working with my team on a daily basis. If different members of the team consistently argued, it would bring down the morale of the group.

    According to Shriberg & Shriberg, emotional intelligence (EI) is the ability to fully understand oneself and to relate well with others (page 91). Social intelligence is the ability to get along well with others and to get them to cooperate with you (page 93). Daniel Goldman’s theory on emotional intelligence is that it can be taught and has the ability to do the following: (page 91): • Motivate oneself and persist despite frustrations • Regulate one’s own moods • Empathize • Delay gratification • Handle stress well • Have verbal and nonverbal skills in sync • Have self/other acceptance/tolerance • Promote “group harmony”…

    Daniel Goldman’s one page article, Emotional Intelligence: Another Way of Being Smart, can be found in the 6th edition of the “Confident Student”, published in 2008; EQ is just as relevant as IQ.

    Emotional intelligence is the ability to manage emotions in such a way that promotes positive outcomes in one’s life. Emotional intelligence also refers to a specific set of cognitive abilities associated with emotions. Intelligence is defined by Wechsler as “the aggregate or global capacity to of the individual to act purposefully, to think rationally, and to deal effectively with his or her environment.” (pg. 2).

    I found the article The Dark Side of Emotional Intelligence by Adam Grant very validating as I’ve started to question the messages our society is bombarded with on a daily basis. Between what we read in the media and what our political leaders say, I wonder if using EI in a negative sense is more prevalent that anyone thinks. A few years ago I took it upon myself to look outside local and national media sources to try to get to the ‘truth’. I’m not even sure you can get the ‘truth’ anymore, since finding an unbiased media outlet seems obsolete. For instance, the hot topic of gun control.…

    The video by "Marcus Freudenmann, Emotional Intelligence in Relationship" explains about how our emotions affect our relationships. Freudenmann says that many people tend to remember the negative things that happen in the past relationships more than the positive things which, ultimately, these memories that we have in our thoughts affect the current and future relationships. Freudenmann adds that because our thoughts creat certain images of people and the images affect our emotions and reactions, all that influence the relationships. Freudenmann also explains the power of emotions, especially, the negative emotions, such as anger and madness; these negative emotions can affect physical response and our thoughts and creat vicious circle.

The teams that are the best at communication and understanding of one another, but may be weaker in the physical objectives the challenges require, often do better than teams that are less communicative but better at physical challenges. This is due to the fact that Survivor is not just challenges that need decisions. On and off the challenges there are important decisions to be made as well as alliances to form.…

    Emotional Intelligence I believe I am lacking emotional intelligence because I don’t always manage my emotions well, but I can stay motivated when things are difficult in my life. There are many examples I could use, but I feel like the most recent would work best. Just a couple weeks ago I experienced myself acting irrationally towards my parents and I was neglecting their feelings, it all started when I began college. My parents were having a hard time with the transition of me not being home anymore and they were always calling and texting me wanting to know what I was doing, and it became very aggravating. My parents became too overwhelming and would not leave me alone, I eventually just stop responding for a while or when I was…
