Leaders should learn to open up, says study
Cambridge Network — 26 August 2021
Leaders who openly share negative emotions such as fear and stress are more successful that those who try to ignore their emotions. The following six ways can help leaders to embrace sharing emotions:
Self-reflect by tracking your emotions with a daily temperature check
Start small by admitting a minor frustration
Plan disclosures in advance instead of ‘aimless venting’
Create dedicated time and space for sharing emotions
Model effective emotion regulation for employees
Share both the good and the bad
