Our emotions can cause us to behave like wild monkeys. Our monkey mind can jump from emotion to emotion and before we know it the day is over and nothing was done and we leave work carrying a bunch of resentments. Over time employee engagement can ooze away leaving us disengaged and dispirited.
Our emotions can derail us and cause us to disengage from others, our work, and even ourselves.
Leaders can learn a lot from the Tibetan monk’s ability to control their emotions.
