Emotions are very complexed , and even with the study of how our mind / thoughts afffect our actions e.g. " Emotional Intelligence " as humans , there are always going to be times when our emotions get the best of us.
There are positive emotions that fule us to take action , and negative ones that do the same.
What might appear as a negative action to some , might appear positive to others.
Remember how we started off your interview with me ?
I started crying right at the onset , and throughout the interview , but no one perceived me as not having " Emotional Intelligence / self control , because my emotions were real , and connected with everyone else's.
There's a saying :
" What comes from the heart , reaches the heart. "
Being a Police Officer such as yourself is one of the most challenging occupations that requires control of ones emotions.
I've been out with Police Officers / EMS and have witnessed first hand what it takes for them to handle certain situations emotionally.
I couldn't do it man . ..
The stress level of Police Officers is much higher than most - they have to confront and deal with things that most people couldn't possibly understand.
Then , they have to somehow try to process all of the horrific things they encounter out there , and try not to bring it back home.
Ok , you gave that guy the buisness , but at least you are aware of it , and are willing to address it.
What about Leaders / Ranking Officers who's behavior is like that on the regular ?
However it lands , is how it lands.
He handle it 🤕
Ha,ha,
Commander Heal used to tell me stories about combat missions he was on , and if his instructors weren't carried out to the letter - he would tear into his Platoon 🗣
And guess what ?
He didn't give a hoot about how they felt .
Lives were at stake.
Sometimes , it's good to get the ' blast ' from your Leader - keeps you on your toes 👊
We all deal with displaced anger / frustration ; it happens.
Tell ya what though :
That person will know you're a Leader who shoots straight from the collar , and he won't mistake your future efforts to be more patient and considerate towards him for granted.
This has direct application every single day I go to work. Thank you sir!
An awesome word for today's leaders. I hope future leaders take note!
