You may very well be an Angry Manager!!
""So what should I do?""
First and foremost: Pay attention to the signs of anger as they appear. Knots in stomach. Clenching hands. ""Seeing red"". Tensing up of the body. These are all warning signs that may come well before your anger actually expresses itself. This is the time to stop yourself before your anger affects others and yourself.
So how to help yourself help others? Here are our Top Ten Tips for Anger Management:
1. Think before you speak. What are you about to say? And how will it affect people around you? Give yourself a few seconds to figure this out.
2. Get some exercise. A brisk walk around the block or a quick run will do wonders for your equanimity.
3. Take a timeout. It's not just for kids! Put yourself in the corner for a while.
4. Focus on the physical sensations of anger. Focus on the way it's making you feel, and this will actually put your mind at east.
5. Stretch, roll or massage physical points of tension, especially after doing #4.
6. Dance to the music! Put on your favorite jams and just move the anger away!
7. Use humor to release tension. The right joke at the right time helps cool everybody down.
