Frailty thy name is ....

I know I have posted my last blog topic but I have had an incident in the last couple of days which I think reflects the weakness in the leader that I am and I would like to share this with all. Hopefully this should help others in learning from my experience. I have come to realize that I am oversensitive to certain aspects of my life. This exposes my weakness and shows how frail I can be. Unfortunately this does not complement a leader who is supposed to take control of a situation especially in times of crisis.

Shockingly I have been unaware of this over sensitive nature of mine since I am not sensitive to every aspect of my life, nonetheless the few aspects that I am sensitive to brings forth a person who is vulnerable to emotional imbalance and outbursts. Where I should be in control of the situation I have had it back fire so I am completely at a disadvantage. I am in a situation where I am being blamed for someone else's mistake simple because my defenses are down. I have realized that by showing I am extra sensitive to certain aspects of my life helps others take advantage of me during a time my defenses are absolutely weak and I am unable to take a stand for myself.

After a lot of thought I have realized that a poker face in front of others helps us handle a situation better and does not help people pick up on what ticks us off. This will help us handle any crisis as a leader better.
