"Sometimes your emotions prevent you from doing the right thing, and sometimes they allow you to do the wrong thing.”

In this episode, we are joined by Tony Ferraro, Senior Executive Coach and Director of Training Services at Floyd Consulting, to share a critical leadership trap to look out for.

Listen in as we discuss how emotions can steer leaders astray and cause them to react in ways that don’t align with their mission and goals. Tony shares insights on how leaders can take control of their emotions, become confident in their decisions, and highlights the role coaches play in helping avoid emotional stumbling blocks.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  1. Great leaders recognize all of the variables before making a decision, but they don’t let their minds create fake variables to hinder their emotions
  2. Having a coach will help you lead better by shedding light on traps and identifying how to avoid them
  3. Using journaling as a way to get out feelings of frustration and anger allows you to see more clearly and identify solutions
