Managing the performance of others can be a source of chronic anxiety at any level of leadership. Those in the position of Middle Manager often feel they are stuck between “a rock and a hard place.”
Being curious allows you to ask, “What is at the root of what is going on here?” and “What is my role in this?”
Through Resilient Leadership certification I learned more about the Rational System and the Emotional System. I learned that we are generally unaware of chronic anxiety and so we tend to just react unconsciously to it in any Emotional System (think relationships.)
