Women in business
constantly have to fight
the ’emotional’ label.
Does that mean we can’t get angry?
Nope.
But it does mean
we have to manage that angry.

“It’s okay to let people see
you’re angry,
but it’s not okay
to lose your cool.”
“There’s a big difference
between these two emotions:
losing your cool
is an overly personalized response
in an office environment.
It’s better to express anger briefly,
then move quickly
to the next, much more important step:
fixing whatever’s been broken.”
Focus on the problem
and
bookend the anger
with rational, constructive information.
