Dealing With Emotional Behavior – – FLDP6

MODULE 6

 

Frontline Leaders (or supervisors) are first level of leaders who lead or supervise a group of followers to achieve the operational level strategies of the organizations.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

As people spend much of their time under the pressure of deadlines, responsibilities, and commitments, emotions at work are to be expected.  The more people become interested in and committed to their work, the more their emotions are exposed.  Frontline Leaders understand that emotions are  not necessarily a negative thing, except when it become so amplified or recurs so often that it prevent people from dealing rationally and productively with those around them. When strong or highly emotional behavior enters a work discussion, it often prevents the discussion from continuing in a productive and focused way.  Behaviors such as unusual silence, anger, tears, or raised voice, etc , often interferes with the resolution of the work issues or problem at hand.  This is when such emotional behaviors must be acknowledged and worked through before the issue can be addressed again. At other times, when you as the Leader initiating an important work discussion, the other person reacted in an emotional way.  This is when you need to deal constructively with the emotional behavior so that you can establish or re-establish a productive discussion.

This sixth module of the Frontline Leadership skills-building training gives you a proven process for defusing emotional behavior when it erupts in a work discussion.  The critical Key Actions in this module allow you to acknowledge the other person’s emotions appropriately without becoming immersed in them, and then help you to refocus on the work issues at hand.
