Teamwork

For businesses to perform well, they need to have strong teams. In order to be a good team player, you need to have high emotional intelligence. Having high emotional intelligence means having good communication and listening skills, which is so important to work well in a team. Emotionally intelligent people are also less likely to dominate others and more likely to consider other people's opinions. 


Workplace environment

Emotionally intelligent people tend to respect each other more, which makes the whole workplace environment to be an enjoyable one. A place where everyone enjoys each others' company becomes a productive place because everyone will work harder in a pleasant environment. 


Adjustments

A successful company is the one that always changes. But those changes are more likely to occur only when employees themselves are willing to change and improve themselves. Emotionally intelligent employees tend to embrace the changes and are constantly working on changing themselves too. So, they are more likely to embrace the changes in a company and motivate others to do the same. 


Self-awareness

People who are emotionally intelligent have self-awareness, which means knowing their own strengths and weaknesses. Because of this they are open to constructive feedback and can use it to improve themselves, which increases productivity of a company. 


Self-control

Being able to control your emotions is one of the crucial qualities to have at the workplace. Whether it's when dealing with your angry boss or with your unhappy customer. Not being able to do so will result in negative feedback and loss of revenue. In such situations it's important to stay peaceful and have your emotions under control. 


Competitors

By hiring emotionally intelligent people you will win over your competitors who don't do that. You will have stronger and happier teams, which not only will increase the productivity and revenue of your company but will also influence the reputation of the company as being a place where people are happy to work.
