One goal of developing emotional intelligence among employees is to understand them. By so doing, it becomes easier to interact with them more effectively and understand their needs better. It can also assist you to figure out what truly motivates them even when they might even have problems articulating it.

Emotions reveal information that individuals can directly tell you since they arise from the operation of the motivational system. There are three aspects of motivation that you can read from the emotions displayed by your employees and include orientation, commitment, and success and such help you to understand what they are trying to communicate to you whether directly or indirectly.

It is easier to get caught up in the emotions of other people. Human beings are wired to have contagious goals. If we see someone else is passionate about something, we might also get motivated. Therefore, it is important to observe the emotions of your employees and what motivates them. Employers too must evaluate their personal emotional reactions since their energy affects massively how people react to situations in the workplace.
