Emotional Intelligence

Emotional intelligence is the art and science of self-awareness, social awareness, self-
management and relationship management. Emotional intelligence is essential for personal
performance, regulating relationship and interaction with other people. Emotional intelligence
assists in career progression (Tearle, 2014). Artificial emotional intelligence can be diagnosed in
the show Silicon Valley. The whole premise of the show Silicon Valley entails some people who
have low Emotional Intelligence who are suddenly thrusting into the leadership of multimillion-
dollar Start-up Company. Artificial emotional intelligence is covered in the 6 th episode of Season
five and forty-fourth in general. Richard makes a choice to assist when Laurie jets in a jam.
However, Richard has low emotional intelligence. As a result, he threatens to boomerang on Pied
Piper. In this 6 th episode, Gavin, a character in the show struggles to contract a deal with Dinesh,
a stubborn partner while she was abroad. However, he delights on a rare win while Jared bonds
with an amusing character.
Richard is emotionally immature as he facilitates trouble that is the cornerstone conflict
across the episode. The "Big Bang Theory" has collected the most prominent viewership in
television history (Tearle, 2014). The Big Bang Theory is capable of playing CBS that is more
networked more than HBO, which is the Silicon Valley's home network.
In my personal experience during social interactions with my coworkers, friends, and
people in a social gathering, I come across awkward situations portraying some emotional
inferiority. My friend keeps understanding and believing that he is ugly and a bad omen to other
people (Jacket Sterrett, 2000). This personality is killing him emotionally because it ruins his
emotional intelligence. Even though this friend has a good and well-paying job, his self-esteem
was very low. This is a sign of low emotional intelligence (Seligman, 2009).
