Emotional intelligence and its necessity in a manager

Emotional Intelligence (EI) is a term that has gained more and more importance in the world of entrepreneurship, and not without reason.

In a world that is constantly changing and developing, EI is key to the success of a manager and, consequently, to the progress of a business.

Expertise and technical proficiency are certainly important in running a business, but they alone are no longer sufficient to ensure success. EI is a person's ability to perceive, understand and manage emotions, both their own and those of others, and is an important factor in building positive relationships and solving problems. Even in the world of entrepreneurship, the human dimension is decisive.

Next, we'll look at five reasons why EI is just as important as expertise to an executive and business success:

1. Communication and Employee Relations: Managers must be good communicators and have the ability to inspire and guide employees. EI helps them understand the needs and emotional states of the people they manage, improving communication and relationship between them.
2. Decision Making: Managing their emotions helps managers make better decisions. EI allows them to be more perceptive of problems concerning the business and to react effectively.
3. Conflict Management: In the professional field, conflicts are inevitable. EI helps managers understand sources of conflict and resolve problems with determination and good judgment.
4. Trust and Feeling of Security: Managers must inspire trust in their employees. EI helps them create a sense of safety and well-being in the workplace.
5. Innovation and Market Communication: AI allows managers to be more flexible and open to new ideas and trends in the market. The ability to read and understand customer and competitor reactions is critical to business adaptation and growth.
