Leadership Lesson
Inspired from homemakers- Part-2
Homemakers are custodians of Emotions
She is
Sometimes sandwiched between her Husband and her children, but she finally balances
between both to ensure there is peace in the family
Despite
of facing challenging situations in workplaces, she comes back to take care of
her family, without getting emotionally hijacked and she also stands in front
of her family members as counsellor to manage their issues too.
A house
becomes a home, where emotions are managed, and Empathy is shown. Workplace is
sometimes like a family, where Leaders are sandwiched between the top
management and the subordinates, in such situation it is Homemaker who should
come to your mind to balance between both. In certain situations, Leaders
should ensure they are not emotionally hijacked, and they should also manage
others emotional hijack. Remember, in such situation, Homemaker is a ready
reckoner whom you can quickly learn
We can
argue that Family and Workplace are two different entities, but we should
understand that in the family, if
emotional intelligence is low, we cannot replace the family member whereas in the workplace people can be
replaced, hence there is a deeper learning from a homemaker to understand how
to apply emotional intelligence in workplace.
Just
think how certain qualities of emotional intelligence was used in your family
and ask yourself how you can use those qualities in your role to manage your
emotions and other people’s emotions too.
Emotional Intelligence from a Homemaker is a
Map for a Leader to Navigate the organisation in any kind of situation
