EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE MASTERCLASS PART 2: SELF-MANAGEMENT

Leaders know when to DISPLAY emotions and when to DELAY emotions.?

My father-in-law?Chuck was a man’s man. I considered him a combination of Clint Eastwood and John Wayne. When I was first married to Julie, we went fishing early one morning. We were one of the first ones to the boat launch site and right when we were ready to officially launch, a guy in a small pick-up truck with a boat attached to the trailer cut in front of us, taking the boat ramp.

I had never seen Chuck get angry but let’s just say he displayed some raw emotions?that morning. The emotions he displayed were intense and therefore quickly adjusted that man's?choice to cut us.? 95% of the time, you couldn’t find a better gentleman than Chuck, he was one-of-a-kind.
