Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: A
Explanation
A project manager with a high degree of emotional intelligence and empathy will likely manage conflict more successfully. The higher your emotional intelligence, the easier it is to spot and resolve situations that would otherwise lead to conflict. Higher emotional intelligence means a better understanding of emotions, not being overcome by emotions. People with higher emotional intelligence do not allow emotions unrelated to the decision to influence their decision, thus making better critical decisions.Discussion
