So drama!!!

Believe it or not, when one is emotionally (or mentally) affected by some adverse outcomes, it's similar to subjecting one to extreme conditions. His/Her behaviour - all psychomotor responses and expressions suddenly exaggerate and grow in folds! I believe the "Self" space has inflated so much and failed to see the existance of others!

What struck us... still ringing in our ears after yesterday's BSL meeting was... "I have lost all of you... "; "We have lost the schools..."; "I am so disappointed... " - drama? SO EMOTIONAL??? TOTALLY!!! ABSOLUTELY!!! All because... (sigh!)

One learning point:
- Never never bring one's emotion to the meeting or discussion table. Being dramatic does not help. It turns people off!
- AQ is important, EQ is also important... Without them, no matter how power one is, one will fail to hold of the hearts of others...
>> This is an important lesson for leadership.
