Emotional intelligence is generally understood as a desirable capability and a big plus in interpersonal communication. It's often said that EQ is more important than IQ.
Expert studies confirm that emotionally intelligent people excel in leadership and job performance, have better relationships with others and are also healthier than people with low EQ.
However, this does not mean that emotional intelligence is a purely positive trait. Do you know how much is too much? A high degree of emotional intelligence can hurt us and the people around us too.
