Have you ever had a peak experience? Please share about it to help me with my next episode.

You’re in a leadership role and the anger bubbles up.  Or . . .you’re the subject of the leader experiencing anger.  Learn about anger in leadership as well as transformational leadership from the best selling authors of the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Workbook for Leaders: How Improving your Mental Health is Essential to Avoiding Burnout and Leading More Effectively, Dr. Julian Barling PhD and Dr. Simon A. Rego, PsyD.    I have started sharing my podcasts on YouTube as well - find this one under @AlexandraMillerClark.  Some gems I learned from this interview include: 

* just a little bit of anger can be motivating

* showing anxiety can be more effective than showing anger as a leader . . . But not too much!  

*sometimes it helps to say “I don’t know” or “I’m sorry”

*it’s good to prepare for future crises as leaders

*leaders who show anger are just humans with a range of emotions
