Emotions and feelings
As a leader, it is incredibly important to control your feelings and emotions. Every experienced leader knows that when you allow your emotions and feelings to take over, to overcome you – you lose – every single time. Emotions are energy and when we see our reality through the lens of that emotion – your vision is severely distorted, and your decisions might be impacted by that distortion regardless of being positive or negative.
Conscious leaders understand and define their feelings and emotions correctly. They recognise them in others.
Self-aware leaders are able to manage and control their feelings. Some mastered creating their own emotional states.
To be in charge of your feelings you should also understand the most common coping mechanisms (which are mostly unhelpful) most people use to deal with their emotions and feelings.
Emotions have specific functions, and any highly self-aware individual should understand them. They are road signs, guiding energies, they make us grow or shrink, they make us hurt, or they make us heal. Emotional mastery is knowing how to read your emotions and how to process them correctly.
