“Emotional intelligence” means having good people skills and getting along well with others.
EI is fast becoming more important to employers than a worker’s IQ or technical skills.
People with high emotional intelligence(1):
1. Handle stress in healthy ways.
2. Cooperate well with others.
3. Listen to others.
4. Accept correction.
5. Are empathetic.
6. Set a good example.
7. Make careful decisions.
I love when our culture recognizes the beauty of God’s truth. Every principle on this list is a scriptural principle.
Genuine believers who seek to obey God’s commands:
1. Take their stresses to the Lord and find peace (Philippians 4:6).
2. Consider the feelings and desires of others, not just their own (Philippians 2:3-4).
3. Genuinely listen to others, refusing to monopolize conversations (James 1:19).
4. Heed correction without making excuses for their sins (Proverbs 15:32).
5. Put themselves in the other person’s shoes and treat others as they would want to be treated (Matthew 7:12).
6. Become good examples as they follow the example of Christ (1 Corinthians 11:1).
7. Use God’s wisdom when making decisions (Proverbs 14:15).
