Dignity in Leadership:
There is an ironclad connection between your emotions and the leader you show up as for yourself and your team
​​When you struggle to decide or delegate, emotions play a role. When your team struggles to pull the same direction, emotions play a role.
If your team avoids having tough conversations, don’t raise their hands to ask for help, or does not coach their direct reports, emotions play a role.
​
A significant part of what enables you to choose wisely, solve problems, and build collaborative relationships is your capacity for emotional regulation.
Emotions are logical, learnable, practical, and relevant. Emotional regulation is for those who need it, want it, and are willing to do the work.
