Leadership extends beyond strategies and decision-making. As a leader, your emotional state sets the tone for the entire workplace.
Your emotions can either uplift or dampen your team's spirit, influencing productivity, creativity, and overall workplace satisfaction.

Start your day with a moment of self-reflection. Consider the emotional tone you wish to set and how it aligns with your leadership goals.
Be always conscious about which ripple effect you want to create.
Stay home, don’t have meetings, don’t have interactions, when you are in a negative mood and impatient … you destroy much more than you create.
