Description

You know that moment. An email drops, a meeting gets scheduled, and your stomach sinks. As a manager, it’s not just your reaction that matters, it’s what your team sees, hears, and absorbs.

This week, we get into:

  • Why your team mirrors your reaction to frustrating people and situations
  • How to avoid dragging your team into a commiseration spiral
  • The power of naming what’s hard without making it worse
  • One quick conversation that shifts your team from reactive to ready

Every team hits roadblocks. This is how you lead them through.
