I often recognize it in the manager who is working 80-hour weeks with no end in sight. His neck and shoulders may be physically sore from the burden he carries; he’s worn out and doesn’t see how he can continue at this pace. This helpful but over-burdened manager is sitting in his office. He’s harried, stressed, and run down.

It was also critical for the safety of the entire crew because if there was an accident, an illness, or an attack and the helmsman of the ship was incapacitated it would be kind of problematic if no one in the crew knew how to steer the boat. Ensure HR knows who those people are and how to contact them. Stay in touch with those people.

However, I’ve had many chances to learn how to deal successfully with anger since then – whether it is in a large group, a smaller group or with a single person. Having some tools in your “anger management” toolkit will help. I had NO IDEA how to do that and thought my job was to solve problems. It was not my finest moment.

when I see that we no longer need to use 360’s in our organizations because: There are no toxic managers. At the top of my wish list is that everyone in organizations, from the top to the bottom, learns how to give constructive, strengths-based feedback.
