emotional intelligence

as i was reading an article about emotional intelligence. i relate it to education because it talks about how a manager needs to control its emotions while at work, it also talked about how a manager needs to be able to know what its employees feel and be able to organize them. skills needed from emotional intelligence are

1) self-awareness, which is being able to know one's self moods and emotions
2)self-regulation, ability to think before you act
3)motivation, being able to work hard with persistence
4)empathy, ability to understand the emotions of others
5)social skills, ability to establish a relationship with others

in my opinion not only this works well for managers but i think that it will also work good for teachers in general. as a future teacher this impacts me because in order to understand my students i need to first understand me and know my values and my emotions. also i know that not everything is perfect, so maybe things will go out of control once in a while, so i need to be able to think before i act if not things might get even worse. all teachers need motivation for themselves and for its students. empathy is also very important because in order to have a good group, a teacher needs to understand students as individuals. last but not least i do not know how a teacher will be able to teach with out having any type of relationship with its students.
