At times, us leaders can become easily angered when a project of some kind we are working on hits a roadblock, or if there is an issue. We usually react negatively to the situation and may end up hurting someone’s feelings or offend them in some way. Self-control in group tasks is just as important as having control over what happens to the task at hand. It’s very easy for us to toss our morals out the window when we’re under immense pressure, so here are some tips to help you take back your self-control: 1: Look at the big picture 2: Know your emotional intelligence 3: Think about what you say before you say it 4: Take a minute to collect your thoughts I know for myself, I get easily frustrated when something goes wrong because I feel like as a team leader it all weighs down on me, and all of your negative emotions can take over and will most likely cause you to say something you never should have said. The process of building up your self-control will not miraculously happen overnight so you have to work at it day by day, and really practice your self-control so that you can evolve yourself as a leader. Good leaders (in my opinion) should easily adapt to any situation that may happen, and will always find a smart, logical way to take care of the problem rather than focusing their time and energy to pin the blame on other people. If you wish to be the fearless, confident leader you dream to be, well then you better get yourself some self-control first. Nobody will ever listen to a leader that easily lashes out at them, and makes them feel bad because they’re “not doing it right” or they “don’t get it”. People want to be encouraged, and celebrated, so think twice next time before you tell that person something negative.

self-control can be a hard thing to control if you let it get out of hand for so many years and yes, use all those steps however it may take awhile to acomplish it.

Self controlling will not just help us to keep good relationship with others when we encounter risks, it’ll help us to keep calm in the middle of risks in our daily basis. Great blog!

This is so true. As I’ve been leader/manager their are times where I’ve been very frustrated and would like to just scream however as Connor said you must have self control In all situations including the leadership positions.
