The emotions and how to take advantage of them

1. Anger / rage

Its function is to give you enough energy to do vigorous action to help you overcome obstacles and difficulties. 
 If you are someone who gets angry very often it means that you perceive your surroundings filled with impediments, obstacles, annoyances and obstructions. Recommendation: The obstacles are not a nuisance: they help to master here. Learn how to take adversity like your teacher or refine your leadership skills if you see people as obstacles to get what you want or do not perform under the standards you want. 
 


2. Fear / Insecurity

Prepares you to face a threat. There are real threats: if you warn that your office is on fire, this emotion will prepare you to flee. 
 But when the environment is disproportionate, it means you see yourself below meet the challenges or problems. Or that the consequences of a decision you make beyond your perceived ability that they can be handled properly. And the effect of inhibiting you, or worse, falling paralyzes you into inaction. Recommendation: work with your self-esteem. Strengthen your self-concept or image. Focus on your talents, not your flaws. Results: Projects strong leadership, powerful, proactive.

3. Sadness / depression

This emotion helps you prepare to assume a significant loss or frustrated expectations. When prolonged, it means you live under constant job dissatisfaction (or personal). Recommendation: Dry your tears, releasing the pain this caused you, otherwise you will begin to perceive the world full of bitterness and you will be paralyzed, making the problem worse. Begin to begin, but using a different formula. Don't ever do the same because you get the same results. If you have trouble this step, ask for help. Results: reflect an optimistic and creative leadership.

4. Concern:

Can concentrate all your skills and creativity in solving a challenge or problem. If you are worried constantly, it means that you receive too many situations or challenges such as work or personal circumstances over which you have no influence or control, so most likely you're under constant stress or anxiety. Recommendation: faced with a challenge or problem, take some time to think about its possible causes and solutions. Define your strategy and undertake good roads required that you dictate your experience and common sense. 
 Focus on the implementation of actions decided. Although it seems contradictory, I recommend that you psychologically free yourself of the outcome you expect. Results: exercised leadership serene, freer and more creative. 
 


5. Apathy / lack of motivation / laziness

These emotions have the function to let you know that you're offline, you perform tasks that have no real meaning for you or that the road will no longer have. They can also indicate that the target to achieve're watching or too far or that requires you plenty of time to get it. 
 Recommendation: Learn to identify personal gains in everything you undertake. It does not mean you become a stakeholder. Simply learn to look for personal reasons that will generate the enthusiasm you need to perform your tasks. If the goal or end result to make it look very far or very hard to get, get goals achievable in the short term the sum of which take you to the end result you want. Result: Your leadership will be more energetic and enthusiastic. You'll be more motivated by achieving results in the short term though they are small. Project your momentum to your team and begin to influence them in subtle ways, by example rather than words.

6. Shame.

Its function is to point out to a behavior has been morally unacceptable. This is healthy because it helps to put limits on your behavior and avoid taking what does not correspond or what you have not won. 
 However, there is a "psychological embarrassment," which is not justified.Recommendation: work to strengthen your self-esteem, acceptance of yourself and expand your sense of entitlement. Results: exercised strong leadership will be more visible and you're ready to take on challenges with more confidence in yourself. This will make you stand out and attract more opportunities to succeed. 
 He who perseveres reaches. If you need help to solve any of these situations, ask for it.

Use your emotional intelligence and expand your horizons!
