Why it’s important to address your emotionsStart with leading yourselfStrategies for dealing with emotionsHow to create an emotionally-healthy workplace culture

Key Takeaways:

Emotions tend to get ignored. However, turning your face away from it won’t make it go away. When emotions are not addressed, they have the power to set the tone and the energy for the rest of the day and for the days beyond that.In order for you to lead with emotions effectively, you’ve got to first be a good leader to yourself. Having good self-leadership starts with awareness and a willingness to be honest.When you acknowledge an emotion and are able to label it, the intensity of it goes down. Time-box your emotions, address them today so that you won’t take them with you tomorrow. Lastly, remember that “negative” emotions drain your energy but they have a purpose and they can be channeled into creating something positive.Growing an emotional culture starts with the leader. They must set the norm by being honest and giving people a space to be themselves and discuss their emotions. Be empathetic, compassionate, and willing to help.

"It's important for you to understand how you are, where you are, [and] the impact that you're going to have because emotions are contagious." — Natalie Boudou
