On the Road to Becoming an Emotional Giant!

Emotions play a crucial role in creating and maintaining an organizational culture. In fact, most companies don't realize that their culture is affected by their emotional makeup. So if you want to build a more satisfying workplace, it's time to take a serious look at how you manage your emotions.


To do so, you must understand what the best and worst emotions are. For example, the most positive emotion you can feel is joy. The least positive emotion you can experience is anger. When you are experiencing an emotion, you should not try to ignore it or try to suppress it. You should instead acknowledge it and make a conscious effort to feel it.

The most nifty thing you can do is to learn how to recognize and properly respond to the appropriate emotions. This can be done in several ways. A meditation session during your workday might be a good idea. Another option is a mindfulness app on your work computer.

One of the easiest ways to recognize an emotion is by watching what you do with your hands. For example, if you are angry with your boss, you might try to grab the nearest coffee mug and sit down. Or you can put your hands in your lap and say, "I'm feeling so overwhelmed right now."

There are many other things you can do to improve your emotional health, such as scheduling a meditation session. Also, you can try using a mindfulness app on your work computer or phone. These apps are a great way to stay aware of your emotions throughout the day.

Some people might be surprised to learn that you can actually control your emotions. You can do this by changing the way you think and behave. Changing your physiology is also a good way to change your emotions.

An organizational culture may be defined by the way you treat your employees. If your company has an emotional culture, it is important to listen to your employees. They may have good advice to share. However, if you don't take the time to hear them, you might be missing out on something valuable.

In order to become an emotional giant, you have to be able to recognize and properly handle the most important emotions. Most people don't take the time to do this. Instead, they ignore them, deny them, or even worse, express them in counterproductive ways.

For example, you can't just walk up to someone and say, "I'm a little angry at you" and expect them to stop acting that way. While that might be acceptable in a one-on-one relationship, if you're a manager, you can't let your employees stomp on your feelings.

Creating an organizational culture that is based on the most important emotions is a daunting task. That said, you can make a start by understanding the basic emotions your employees are most likely to experience. As a leader, you have a unique opportunity to influence their behavior.
