I have been told that when I get really annoyed or frustrated it shows clearly on my face.


It’s a natural reaction, however you have to be very self-aware, particularly if you are in front of your team or a large group.


It can create an uncomfortable tension and kill the positive energy in the room.


It probably isn't how you want to influence your team to behave in a crisis.


Things don’t always go as planned. It’s how you react to it that is a reflection of your leadership.


Stay Calm. Fix. Learn. Move On.


Try to control your anger.


If your team is not being transparent, and you are experiencing the watermelon effect, it might be because you are being an angry apple.
