Cooperative environments nurtures behaviour is aimed at interests of a common, shared goal. EQ helps us navigate and identify the shared goal, as well as get emotional buy in from the group as a whole. Adaptation, collaboration and social interdependence rather than individualised competitive goals. Positive interdependence, individual accountability, promotive interaction, conflict management and group processing allow members to care and encourage one another, show empathy and regulate their emotions. This impacts the success of the team, while negative behaviour impacts this productivity.
