Thought Tweet #783 It isn't about who's right or who's wrong. It's about who doesn't have emotions under control - and Why?
The Thinking Behind The Tweet
Disputes in the work environment often escalate. And, they often spread and affect many people. When you face situations of conflict and dispute remember - It isn't about who's right or who's wrong. It's about who doesn't have emotions under control - and Why?
And, of course, make sure you aren't among those who do not have their emotions under control.
Emotional disputes do a lot of damage and waste a lot of energy [energy - which, if it wasn't being wasted, could be put to constructive use].
