EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE, CULTURAL INTELLIGENCE AND DIVERSITY
Introduction
EI or emotional intelligence is defined as the capability of an individual of to recognize
his/her emotion and others as well (Ciarrochi & Mayer, 2013). According to Daniel Golman’s
theory (Khalili, 2013) there are 5 key elements of emotional intelligence, namely self-awareness,
self-regulation, motivation, empathy and social skills.
Cultural Intelligence or cultural quotient, on the other hand, may be defined as the quality
or capability of working with diverse cultures. (Thomas 2015)
In this assignment, our task is to evaluate our emotional and cultural intelligence and
analyze our perception about our own self. Also, we should take note of how other people may
perceive us. According to these perceptions, we might be able to identify our strengths and
weaknesses and also may identify the areas where we can further improve to perform as a
successful professional in a diverse workspace.
