Emotional Intelligence as a Key Feature of a Commander

Abstract

This effort is aimed towards to one of the most important skills of the managercommander in 21st century, which is emotional intelligence. Main target of the effort is to give the reader a better look at the position of a commander, his competences and mainly give the public of Armed Forces a better knowledge about emotional intelligence. In theoretical part of an effort it’s the position of a commander, about his personal nature, which he should have, mainly because he manages people daily. I consider emotional intelligence as the most key feature of a manager because in modern age we think it’s impossible to handle systems and processes and also guide and lead his employees. In a practical part I used questionnaire method to do a research about sophistication of students of the Armed Forces Academy of Milan Rastislav Stefanik in Liptovsky Mikulas, Slovakia. It’s the academy which grows future commanders, who should without a doubt develop this type of intelligence. Main target of this endeavour is to be more effective and also inspire everybody in this resort to grow social and emotional forwardness of future commanders by application of emotional intelligence into practice.
