FROM the inception of man in accordance with the Holy Books, Bible and Qur’an, the importance of mentorship has been exemplified. The disobedience of Adam and Eve can be argued to be as a result of their inability to learn from the experience of other persons that go against the law. Even in this modern age, humans tend to not obey laws or rules until they learn from the experience of others that are being punished for their disobedience. In essence, it has become evident that for the successful evolution of man, there is the dire need to learn from persons who have scaled through a part of life or persons who did not, but have realised what went wrong and can tutor others on the right path. Emotional intelligence, also known as the Emotional Quotient (EQ) is the ability to understand, use, and manage emotions in positive ways to relieve stress, communicate effectively, empathize with others, overcome challenges, and defuse conflict. Emotional Intelligence (EI) helps one build stronger relationships, succeed at school and work, and achieve one’s career and personal goals. It further helps one to connect with feelings, turn intention into action, and make informed decisions about what matters most and why.
