Emotional intelligence plays a crucial role in preventing and managing conflicts in veterinary practices by enabling individuals to recognize and understand their own emotions and those of others. This awareness facilitates empathetic communication, critical in resolving misunderstandings and tensions among staff. Veterinary professionals with high emotional intelligence can effectively navigate sensitive situations, anticipate potential conflicts, and address them proactively. Training in emotional intelligence helps build a supportive work environment, where conflicts are less likely to escalate and more likely to be resolved constructively.
