People often confuse emotionality with emotional intelligence. The presence of emotions is just the basic set of the psyche. But emotional intelligence is already the flexibility of the emotional sphere of a person + the ability to distinguish between one's own emotions and the feelings and feelings of other people + the ability to use this knowledge for communication. EQ is a skill that can and should be pumped, and you need to start with understanding your own emotional sphere.
Interestingly, recently, when looking for top managers, they pay more attention to EQ than IQ. That is, the technical knowledge of a specialist is no longer considered the main criterion of a professional level. There is even a slang term toxic star - "toxic star". This is a brilliant specialist in his field, with whom it is impossible to normally cooperate through his personality and psychology. The current trend in the world of big business is to simply fire these people.
Automated robots and artificial intelligence will soon take over numerous production links, while humans will remain the strategic center. The productivity of such centers will depend primarily on the successful communication of a large number of people. In the world of the future, IQ is no longer worth anything without EQ. Therefore, investing in your emotional intelligence is just as important as investing in your professional skills.
