Hi, Mike- Great Post. As a first timer to your blog, I’m greatly enthu’ed reading the post. You brought out on of the most important quality of great leaders. They have control over emotions. Their causes and sense of humility drive the emotions instead of distractions. I think a great leader first has to win over his/her emotions (anger, fear, lust, greed, prejudice) before becoming a role model. That’s what separates I think from ordinary and extraordinary leaders.

Hi Tom:

Thanks for the reminder that emotional lapses simply add to the column-fodder and gossip. I always appreciate your insights Tom. Have a great weekend.

So true Mike. Great post as always. I always say, it's more difficult to react right than to act right. This is a strong challenge for all of us. Like you, I have not failed here often, but only due to much constraint and assistance from God's Spirit. Many times some followers look for reasons to judge or excuse their lack of honor. When leaders fail in emotional temperance this only enforces those who are looking for loop holes in respecting leaders. Thanks again for great insight from you!

Agreed…it's often said, and I beiieve it to be true that nobody else can be responsible for a person's emotions other than them. While everyone has a breaking point, it is the ability to recognizie where the breaking point is, and disengage or change the conditions of the engagement prior to reaching that point that makes a difference. Smart leaders simply don't allow their buttons to be pushed…Thanks for sharing Orabile.

Hello Mike
I guess this an important outline of the marketplace behaviour and the most credible of it is how do you react when caught up in such a situation. i believe it all depends upon our personal instincts and who really we are. Emotional mastery is crucial as a leader because it determines th respect that you will or likely to command from your followers. And we must work hard at it to ensure we are good at it no regardless of the situation we are in.

Thanks

Hi George:

Agreed with one caveat, which is the ability to separate yourself from emotions. I was actually having this conversation last night with a man that I hold in high regard. He is extremely mature emotionally and described his ability to separate from the emotions of a situation. This in turn allows him to accurately assess the situation and then validate or invalidate his emotions based on a rational evaluation as opposed to an emotional one. Most people have this ability if they consciously make the "choice" to step back, rather than allow the emotions of the moment to get the better of them. Thanks for sharing George…
