#Beingaleader means you can feel a lot of frustration. At yourself. At others. At circumstances. At the inability to do things better or change an outcome. It’s just frustrating how some people act or don’t learn or don’t care. Frustration.
So how do you deal with frustration? Do you let it consume you? Do you try to ignore it? Act like it’s not there? Frustration is an emotion tied to anger. To me, frustration is a reaction to the anger you feel or the helplessness you feel. It’s tied to the inability to change something that is out of your control.
We have to come to the place where we allow ourselves to be frustrated with events or people without it consuming us. I don’t think it’s realistic to tell ourselves not to react in frustration if it’s warranted. However, what we do with that frustration will determine how successful we become at #Beingaleader.
However, having the feeling of frustration should not result in lashing out at others. Feelings are things that we should learn to control and instead provide a measured response for the circumstances. That’s true in parenting as well as leading a team.
#Beingaleader means you will feel frustration at times. How you react to that frustration will either help you or hurt you.
