In 1990, psychologists John D. Mayer and Peter Salovey came up with the term “emotional intelligence,” or EQ. They described EQ as the ability to identify your own feelings and the feelings of others, then use that information to make thoughtful decisions—in your personal or work life.
More than 30 years later, EQ is considered one of the best traits for employees to have. In fact, in a 2011 study, 71% of employers said they valued candidates with EQ more than candidates with technical skills.
