Here is a link to Daniel Goleman’s essay about important factors of “emotional intelligence” cultivated not just by college freshmen by the world’s most successful corporate leaders. Read the whole article “How to Be Emotionally Intelligent” in the New York Times for his descriptions, but briefly, Goleman’s four categories and subcategories are:
- SELF-AWARENESS, which includes “realistic self-confidence” and “emotional insight.”
- SELF-MANAGEMENT, which includes “resiliance,” “emotional balance” and “self-motivation.”
- EMPATHY, which includes “cognitive and emotional empathy” and “good listening.”
- RELATIONSHIP SKILLS, which includes “compelling communication” and “team playing.”:
