Abstract
Emotional regulation is critical to a leader's effectiveness. When left unchecked, emotions can skew judgment, spark conflict, or lead to impulsive choices; when they're harnessed correctly, however, they can inspire and motivate teams and enable them to thrive. New research has identified six best practices to help leaders regulate their own and their team members' emotions.
