Maintaining Calm When the Heat is On!
The ability to manage the stress and pressure of a leadership role can sometimes vary depending on the circumstances. One of the most challenging aspects is the ability to keep your cool in complex high stress situations. It is in these moments that the ability to be a leader can really shine through. It is also often a determining factor in how leadership is respected and followed in the future.
Being able to manage the pressure of a situation and the emotional fallout is a key ability leaders need to develop. Not just the personal impact to themselves but also the ability to help carry those who follow them as well. For most, this aspect of leadership can only be learned when the heat is on.
