214. Emotional Labor at Work

from The New Manager Podcast Hosted by Kim Nicol

Emotions are part of the human experience, including the workplace. New managers are often surprised by the amount of emotional labor required for the job -- managing different personalities, communication styles, and expectations. If you identify as a hero or a helper, then you may put a lot of pressure on yourself, and you might measure your success based on the emotional signals of those around you. I think it's important for managers to care about their own mental health and emotional wellbeing, too. A good place to start is by checking out a Feelings Wheel. Let's discuss!
