"Anyone can become angry—that is easy. But to be angry with the right person, to the right degree, at the right time, for the right purpose, and in the right way—that is not easy."
In this quote, the philosopher Aristotle perfectly sums up a concept that has become a hot topic in psychology, education, and business—emotional intelligence.
Emotionally intelligent people engage in a number of habits and behaviors that contribute to their ability to manage their own emotions and understand the feelings of others. Do you know anyone who is keenly attuned to his or her own feelings, capable of expressing emotions in an appropriate way, as well as empathetic and understanding of how others are feeling? That person is probably a very emotionally intelligent individual.
Do you think you are emotionally intelligent, or do you think emotional intelligence help to make a good stable relationship?

Whatever I hope you had Fruitful and Joyous New year Tom
Anger is a perfectly valid emotion, just like any other.
It's how we act that is the important thing.
We can hit out, or cry tears of rage for example, but until we recognise that the action (violence, or crying in the corner) is about anger we cannot learn to express our anger more productively.
Anger is the driving force towards a solution in so many situations. We'd have no ethical protocols in our societies without people feeling angry about injustice, or cruelty.

Are you getting your inspiration from women’s magazines?
Successful leaders are not oblivious to their shortcomings. However, they have the drive to improve each day.
Had you been stubborn, unwilling to accept your shortcomings, or resistant to working on self-improvement, would you really go places? To become a successful leader, you need to develop self-awareness to recognize and overcome your weaknesses.
Conversely, would you want to contribute towards the success of someone who doesn’t have much self-awareness and who is extremely resistant to feedback and suggestions for improvement? This kind of person will not grow, and they are unlikely to become leaders.
Leaders are those who focus on personal development, on acquiring new skills and empowering others by delegating tasks and responsibility. Such behavior by leaders is an example of emotional intelligence in our daily life.
