As a leader of any corporation, it is crucial to be able to effectively manage and regulate the emotions of your employees, particularly in situations where negative emotions are prevalent. As an executive leadership coach, I often compare team dynamics to family dynamics – both can be complex and filled with dysfunction and drama. However, with the right approach, leaders can effectively navigate these emotions and create a positive and productive work environment.

While we understand its importance, we tend to associate recognition with intangible outcomes like engagement and sentiment, rather than direct impacts on retention and high performance.
