October 25: Panic is a Team Sport. Don’t Play. 😅
When you panic, your team does too. Keep your cool, and you’ll prevent a ripple effect of stress. Be the calm captain steering the ship.
Your emotions are contagious. If you’re flipping out, guess what? Your team’s going to follow suit.
As a leader, your emotional state has a ripple effect on your team. If you let stress take over, it will spread like wildfire. On the flip side, when you manage your emotions and keep calm, your team feels more grounded and confident. Emotional self-awareness is key here. Notice when stress is creeping in, and take proactive steps to manage it before it affects those around you.
Take Action: For the rest of the day, practice emotional self-awareness. When you feel stressed, take a moment to pause and adjust your response before interacting with your team.
