KEY POINT When you become overly concerned and caring, you cross a line into what's called an overdriven striving. You focus on it too much and can affect your own thinking and functioning, as well as that of others. You demand too much and usually get too little. It's exhausting to everyone concerned. BENEFITS We are truly helpful to ourselves and to others when care enough, but not too much. It’s important to have faith and confidence in others, and give them room to breathe, grow and blossom.

Jose was able to consider emotional component of interactions, using both his cognitive abilities and his understanding of emotions. He was able to influence and motivate people because he understood what mattered to them and was an excellent communicator. His authenticity and integrity made him a natural leader. He was flexible and creative when faced with a challenge, and resilient in face of temporary defeats. He was well-liked and well-respected.KEY POINT Your EQ has more to do with your success and happiness in life than your IQ and it can be learned. RELATED DISTINCTIONS Knowing how and why vs. Knowing what Knowing how to motivate each person vs. Treating everying as if they operated same way which they don't Managing emotions and using them for good results vs. Being at mercy of emotions because you don't understand them or know how to work with them.
