INTRODUCTION
Emotional Intelligence (EI), often measured as an Emotional Intelligence Quotient (EQ), is a term
that describes the ability, capacity, skill or a self-perceived ability, to identify, assess, and manage
the emotions of one's self, of others, and of groups. Emotional Intelligence (EI) has had a huge
impact on management since Daniel Goleman (1995) published his book popular book on EI for
a wider audience. From fairly humble beginnings. EI has come into its own as one of the most
popular psychological concepts of the last decade. EI has been used by some as an umbrella
term that comprises elements such as ‘soft skills’, ‘people skills’, and a general ability to cope
with life’s demands. In other words ‘Emotional intelligence gives you a competitive edge’. It has
been argued around the world that having great intellectual abilities may make you a superb
fiscal analyst or legal scholar, but a highly developed emotional intelligence will make you a
candidate for CEO or a brilliant trial lawyer” (Goleman, 1997, p. 76). In this assignment, we are
