Emotional Leadership

Anxiety is real. Anxiety can be your friend as it helps your mind know that danger is nearby and could help you avoid a tragedy or accident.  Anxiety or the strong interest to be anxiety free can move you to make decisions that are not helpful to you or others.  

A leader will no doubt experience anxiety. It is the management of that anxiety that will influence his / her followers.  When was the last time you made a decision that would avoid uncertainty and decrease anxiety?   Yet in the end, what was best for you and your team was to be decisive not an avoider.  

Manage those emotions and better yet, know how those emotions are directly impacting your ability to lead with decisiveness.  As I shared before, America, companies, families, children and employees are counting on you to stay inspirational.  A micro-manager does NOT inspire.  They retract leadership and retract productivity.
