Managing Emotions

Have you been around people who seemed to have no control over their emotions? One of the reasons people lack emotionally controlled is the understanding that their feelings are one part of their beings and are not their boss. Self-control is something that can be learned as an adult if not learned as a child. Feeling needs no permission to show up or go away, and they ebb and flow like waves on an ocean floor. Now, it would be nice if they would ask permission to show up, but they don’t. They do their own thing and without warning. As leaders, learning how to take care and manage emotions can change reactions and feelings. Managing reactions and feelings is emotional intelligence. Next, we will cover topics around emotional intelligence.
