Practical intelligence is the intelligence related to the overall success in living. Emotional intelligence stems mostly from your emotions. Emotional intelligence is the set of skills that underline the accurate assessment, evaluation, expression and regulation of emotions. Emotional intelligence deals with how you control your emotions in certain situations .

I believe you need practical intelligence because although some problems can be solved by the academic intelligence you may have built, you need practical intelligence for the common sense portion of the solution. Solving everyday problems may allow you to come up with solutions before they may reach the workplace. For example, knowing that you may have situations in which your workers might need some time off because of personal problems, you have to learn how to balance it with the work that still needs to be completed without any loss of production. When dealing with emotional intelligence, you need to know and understand how your subordinates are. You need to know them and know their tendencies. You also have to know their strengths and weaknesses. Once you have a good grasp on the workers that you may have in your team, you can place them in the best position to succeed as well as succeed as a team. Think of a basketball team, every player of a basketball team know their roles in a team. If every member of the team plays their roles, they will be a winning team. Once everyone knows each other well, they may know that one of the players may be playing with flu or something that may limit their playing ability; everyone will know what that they need to try and composite in the role that the other player plays because he is limited.

One show that I can think of is the show brothers and sisters. I believe the character Nora Walker played by Sally fields has both practical intelligence and emotional intelligence. She plays the role as the mother in the show. She shows practical intelligence because she is able to solve everyday problems that her kids may have if and when they ask for her advice. Now when you dealing with the emotional intelligence and you speaking of a family or household, no one know their kids more than the mother. She know how and what to say you gauge and maybe direct her kid’s lives and making it seem that they are doing it themselves. She knows when one of kids is feeling down or when one is hiding something.
