“…These contradictions highlight the need to change approaches to the selection of educational components of the humanities, as well as approaches to their teaching and using new educational technologies that meet the key competencies of future professionals [6] in accordance with the chosen specialty taking into account approved training standards for specialists in a particular field.…”

The work [8] emphasizes the importance of leadership skills which consist of the ability to motivate other people, to develop self-awareness and critical attitude to your actions.…”
