Today it is relevant to study the feelings and emotions of future officers and how feelings and emotions motivate a person to take certain actions. Almost all people constantly experience a wide range of emotions, thanks to which we adapt to society and react to any situation, as well as to the actions or words of others. However, if the external stimulus is very strong or unexpected, the reaction can be too violent or destructive, which a person will regret later. If emotions rule, a person is likely to take out pent-up irritation on loved ones or feel apathetic, perform poorly at work, stop planning for the future, etc. Emotional intellect skills allow to organize thoughts and understand how to get the best result here and now. Evidence also shows that emotional intellect is important for personal fulfillment and is considered a potential factor in life success. So what is emotional intellect?
