  • Managing Emotional Outbursts
    May 23 2024

    Have you ever seen a leader totally lose it? And by lose it I mean expressing their frustration or disappointment with an outburst with voice raising, a battery of questions or a pounding on the desk. Was it you? Leaders typically have a high level of care and passion about the work of their department but when things go wrong their passion can turn into a display of anger. Though the outburst may be intended to drive actions that will fix the problem, it can often have the opposite effect where a team ends up focused managing the leader’s emotion rather than managing the problem.

    This week Kim and Pepper discuss the causes and effects of emotional outbursts at work. They provide a 3-step approach for leaders who want to gain a deeper understanding of their emotional triggers so they can communicate more effectively when their team has missed the mark.
