Mastering emotions is the ultimate game-changer in the world of influence. When opponents provoke, your emotional reaction can tip the scales in their favour.
Counterintuitively, yielding control to emotions empowers them. Influential leaders know better.
They pause, interrupt the knee-jerk response, and reflect. This creates a window for rational thinking.
Acting with calculated emotion trumps blind reaction. So, next time you’re triggered, pause and choose control.
Emotional mastery is the linchpin of influence.
