Emotions are part of the symphony of leadership, but managing them takes finesse.

Thankfully, though, one universal truth shared by Dr. Brenner rings true: "Emotions are neither good nor bad; it's how we manage them that makes the difference."

Leaders who manage their emotions and those of others effectively create an environment where everyone can perform at their best. They'll also experience a level of confidence in their leadership abilities that many of their contemporaries lack.

As a member of Gen X, I can tell you that my generation couldn’t wait to climb the corporate ladder, earn status, and receive promotions that reflected our hard work. Unlike past generations, however, Gen Z employees are pushing back on hustle culture and evaluating prospective employers based on their work/life balance culture. More than ever, this up-and-coming workforce wants to feel heard, valued, and respected. Do you work with Gen Z employees? What’s the best attribute they bring to your team? Leave a comment!
