It's crucial to have emotional intelligence.

Because it refers to the freedom a person has to express

his or her own emotions and because it is a result of emotional intelligence, which is the capacity to recognise

emotions. The capacity for problem-solving, effective communication, self-regulation of emotions and behaviour, and
interpersonal interaction is known as emotional competence. It requires a person to have empathy, or the capacity to
comprehend how others are feeling. It is the ability to monitor one's own and others' feelings and emotions and to
use this information to guide one's thinking and actions. Although there are many kinds of emotional problems that
can cause difficulties with emotional competence, emotional intelligence plays a significant role in the ability that
a person has to learn these skills (Martin.j,2019).

I have come across circumstances at work where I lose emotional control. I didn't listen to other
people's arguments; instead, I adhered to my own and expressed my ire at them by yelling at them. Following that, I
felt guilty and realised they were right. When I encounter a similar circumstance in the future in my personal life, I
will apply my emotional competency I wouldn't be able to respond to the issue appropriately if I hadn't had that
experience. Then I realised that by comprehending my emotions and learning to control them, I can convey how I feel
and comprehend how others are feeling more effectively. I can do this to improve my relationships both at work and
in my personal life, allowing me to communicate more effectively. Definitely Emotional competence is a leadership
skill that leaders use. Leadership requires a clear awareness of how one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviour affect
those around them. A leader will be more effective if they can relate to and collaborate with others on a better level.
Focus on developing your self-awareness, self-control, motivation, empathy, and social skills. Due to their inability to
control their own emotions, leaders with low emotional intelligence frequently lose control in high-stress
circumstances. This can show as verbal attacks on others and passive aggression (Kaoun.T, 2019). Being emotionally
intelligent help them become better leaders since they will be able to collaborate with people in the workplace more
successfully and inspire others' confidence. Internal motivation, self-regulation, self-awareness, empathy, and social
awareness are the five subcategories of emotional intelligence. Being able to recognise one's own emotions makes
it feasible to react correctly to the emotions that other people feel.
