Came across this fast company article over the weekend which does resonant so much with some of the thoughts I have penned down on this blog over the last few months.
Emotional Intelligence (EI) has been increasingly accepted as an important factor for our success and happiness. This applies not only to work but also in our relationships and all areas of our lives. I just want to highlight the 7 points in the article and add in my comments – the fast company link is pasted below for your further reading pleasure.
