A recent blog post from EmCare reveals the importance of utilizing emotional intelligence on a regular basis, especially in the workplace. Dr. Marc Milano, the chief department of emergency medicine at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital - Somerset, focuses in on 4 facets of emotional intelligence.

2. Self-Management - Controlling impulsive feelings and behaviors

3. Social Awareness - Understanding other's emotions and needs (Think empathy.)

4. Relationship management - Recognizing how to develop and maintaing good relationships
