Emotional intelligence -?Is a term used to describe the various competencies that are essential for building, developing and managing relationships? (Peters, 2008, p.13). Emotional intelligence consists of two dimensions; intrapersonal intelligence and interpersonal intelligence.

Emotional Intelligence or Emotional Quotient is simply defined as ?Knowing what one feels good, what one feels bad, and how to get from bad to good. Knowing your emotions and knowing emotions of others.? It refers to emotional management skills, which provide competency to balance emotions and reasons so as to maximize long term happiness.

?Emotional Intelligence is the capacity for recognizing our own feelings and those of others, for motivating ourselves, and for managing emotions well in ourselves and in our relationships. Emotional intelligence describes abilities distinct from but complementary to academic intelligence,? said Daniel Goleman (1998).

What is observed in the life is that people take emotions heartily and break down the relationship. People react with emotions towards others and this hurts the other one. The other one takes it personally instead of taking it professionally. Other people do not take it as a reaction to an event but treat it as a critic to him and take it personally. This breaks down the long time relationship for life time.

Emotional reactions spoil relationship, future goals and tend to change destination. Other people also treat it personally and react badly to the action, which hurt the people and love in the relationship is slowly drop down where as bitterness starts flowing in the relationship. Finally, no one wins, and team spoils off, relationship spoils off and organization is spoils off.

Emotions should be treated mentally instead of personally. It can also be treated as a reaction to an event not to a person. So, it should not be treated personally.
