Goleman adds a very useful structure to emotional intelligence by classifying it into five domains. They are: 1. Self-awareness: Knowledge of one’s internal states, preferences, resources, and intuitions 2. Self-regulation: Management of one’s internal states, impulses, and resources 3. Motivation: Emotional tendencies that guide or facilitate reaching goals 4. Empathy: Awareness of others’ feelings, needs, and concerns 5. Social skills: Adeptness at inducing desirable responses in others
