This book will help you discover your emotional quotient (EQ) through practices and techniques that are used by the most successful IT people in the world. It will make you familiar with the core skills of Emotional Intelligence, such as understanding the role that emotions play in life, especially in the workplace. You will learn to identify the factors that make your behavior consistent, not just to other employees, but to yourself. This includes recognizing, harnessing, predicting, fostering, valuing, soothing, increasing, decreasing, managing, shifting, influencing or turning around emotions and integrating accurate emotional information into decision-making, reasoning, problem solving, etc., because, emotions run business in a way that spreadsheets and logic cannot.

I would like to thank all of the people who helped me deliver this baby in such a few months.

A big thank you to the wonderful Packt Publishing team that had my back throughout this entire process. The first person here being Namrata Patil, who found me and convinced me to write this book, Eisha Dsouza who during the entire process of writing and editing had my back and kept me on track with the changes and deadlines, and dear Jovita Alva who with her insights helped me bring more accuracy to the content.

A very special thanks to my dear friend, Prof. Robert (Rob) Logjes, for taking time out to support me during all this time.

Without the trust, commitment, caring support, and availability of this amazing team of beautiful people, I could not bring to light this book and share the importance of emotional intelligence in the IT world.
