Question

Take some time to think about your emotional maturity and your emotional response to conflict. How would you rate your personal Emotional Intelligence (EI)? What evidence do you have to support this rating? Would family, friends and co-workers agree or disagree?

Answer 1

Talking about the emotional maturity and the handling of situations and conflicts with an emotional response, I would rate myself good in these fields of emotional intelligence and management. I have seen myself personally and professionally balancing and keeping my emotions apart from the worklife.

Whatever emotions I feel, I often used to keep them aside with the work I am doing because I know how emotions could affect the rational decision making of an individual. Emotions often cover up the information and your thinking to make an accurate and effective decisions and thus alligns your decision making strategies and objectives making them inclined towards emotional situation. This would make you as a professional individual to take such decisions which are wrong and you prefer to disturb your physically and mentally because of the mismanagement of the emotions.

To avoid this, one has to understand to keep the emotions apart from the work and only include the ones which could make your work life better and more professional. One evidence I have is that while leadership and monitoring people, you cannot let your emotions flow away and you are leading people with the emotions you feel like liking someone or hating someone. In the office, you have to act professionally and thus you have to manage your emotions and treat everyone in the same manner regardless of the emotions or feelings you would feel for that person.
