"No man is fit to command another that cannot command himself."

William Penn

Enhance:

1. Identify Hot Buttons. Identify your "hot button" emotional triggers that could include people, places, events, or combinations of those elements.

2. Choose Reactions. After identification of hot buttons remember to choose your reaction to these events carefully. The reaction is your choice and when you react poorly, please remember that you are transferring power and credibility to the person pushing your "hot button".

3. Avoid the Need to be Heard. Especially when feeling wronged or attacked, this is a great time to not respond and lash out. Respond to substance and not to the emotion.

4. Evaluate Impacts. Understand the impacts that your words and actions have on others. Think before you speak and respond.

5. Battlefield Cool. Utilize a calm approach to even the most stressful and emotional situations. Step back and remember that how you react will determine how your team reacts.
