I have a client who is working on his temper. You see, losing your temper is bad for your brand for three reasons:
- It makes you look out of control
- It is a waste of valuable energy
- Most of the time it is destructive to those around you
So here's what I told him to do. Pick someone who you admire who you think is unflappable in the face of pressure, conflict and frustration. Try to model that person as much as possible. If you stick with it you may find yourself making more progress than you thought very quickly.
People I look to are Peter O'Malley, former owner of the Dodgers, James Baker III, former Secretary of State and Colin Powell. Who do you admire?
