Summary
Emotional intelligence is very important in the organizational field as in all areas of life (Goleman, 2000). In order to be able to organize the relations in his/her life and to make inferences about how s/he should respond to the situations and conditions s/he encounters, individual must first have awareness of his/her own feelings and thoughts At this point, self-consciousness becomes more valuable and important than other emotional intelligence abilities (Marshall, 2001: 93). Individuals with low self-consciousness often succumb to their feelings and feel helpless because they do not know how to deal with their emotions. These individuals can often have tantrums and lose their control in the face of sudden state changes (Goleman, 2010: 67)
