Listen "Ep 263 Navigating Emotions at Work"
Episode Synopsis
Emotions are part of what makes us human, and in this episode I explore the sometimes problematic relationship between emotions and the workplace. I explore the extent to which it is acceptable to express emotions like tears or anger at work given the increasingly macho leadership styles that demand emotional suppression. This leads me to share my perspective about low emotional intelligence among leaders and the personal costs of suppressing emotions, such as increased stress levels. Drawing from my own experiences, I share strategies for managing emotions responsibly in professional settings. Fostering environments where it is both safe and encouraged to express emotions requires sufficient emotional intelligence and maturity. Through reflective practices, we can determine if our feelings are genuinely ours or absorbed from others - and these practices contribute to healthier workplace dynamics. *** Key Points *** Importance of emotional intelligence Strategies for responsible emotional regulation Impact of emotional contagion #FlourishingIntroverts #Introvers #Emotions *** Resources *** Visit https://hub.flourishingintroverts.com/resourcesp for tools and resources mentioned during the podcast.
