Emotional intelligence can be learned and developed over time from "summary" of Emotional Intelligence by Peter Salovey,Marc A. Brackett,John D. Mayer

One common misconception is that emotional intelligence is a fixed trait that we are born with and cannot change. However, research has shown that this is not the case. In fact, emotional intelligence can be learned and developed over time. This means that even if we may not have been naturally gifted with high emotional intelligence, we have the ability to improve in this area through practice and effort. Developing emotional intelligence involves becoming more aware of our own emotions and the emotions of others. This awareness allows us to better understand why we feel a certain way and how our emotions impact our thoughts and behaviors. By recognizing and acknowledging our emotions, we can learn to manage them more effectively and respond to situations in a more constructive manner. Another important aspect of emotional intelligence is being able to empathize with others. Empathy involves putting yourself in someone else's shoes and understanding their perspective and feelings. This skill can be honed through active listening, open-mindedness, and a genuine desire to connect with others on an emotional level. Furthermore, developing emotional intelligence requires us to regulate our emotions in a healthy way. This means being able to control impulses, manage stress, and handle conflicts with composure. By learning to stay calm and composed in challenging situations, we can make better decisions and maintain positive relationships with others.
  1. The key to improving emotional intelligence lies in self-awareness, empathy, and emotional regulation. By practicing these skills regularly, we can enhance our ability to understand and manage emotions, both in ourselves and in others. This process may take time and effort, but the rewards of increased emotional intelligence – such as better relationships, improved communication, and greater overall well-being – make it well worth the investment.
