Emotional intelligence (sometimes abbreviated as EQ) is a poorly-defined and controversial thing.  However, it can be a useful way of understanding certain aspects of life, including the workplace.

People with high emotional intelligence are good at noticing and interpreting the emotions of others.  One example is timing a request: if you want somebody in the workplace to do something for you, a person with high EQ is more likely to choose a moment with the person is receptive to that request, and consequently more likely to obtain agreement.  Or put it another way - if you want somebody to do you a favour, don't ask them when they are in a bad mood.
