The greatest similarity between great leaders is…
Great leaders master their triggers.
They remain calm and level headed in difficult situations.
They don’t take it personally.
They are quick, precise and decisive, even when it’s tricky.
They take logical and calculated risks.
They are empathetic and bring the best out of their team.
How do you get to that level of leadership?
We’ll start at the beginning…
What is a trigger?
A trigger is an automatic response to something,
it’s an experience of extreme discomfort.
When someone doesn’t listen to you.
When someone undermines you.
When someone is being sarcastic to you.
When someone accuses you of something you didn’t do.
… and you scream and shout!
… or you stay silent.
… you wanted to escape.
… you were flustered.
Afterwards all you can think about is the conversation or situation.
“How could I have said it differently?”
“How dare they say that to me!”
“What did they mean by that?!”
You want to protect yourself, control the situation, punish them…
What could you have instead…
Once you master your triggers, you will respond to situations and in conversations.
You start to have an increased level of:
Clarity in the conversations you have
Effectiveness in communicating with your team
Assertiveness in your conversations with your peers and leaders within the company
You give no particular meaning to what others say and do, & you’re able to express what you want to say. You won’t take it personally.
And as a bonus! How others will see you, is as someone who is calm and level headed in difficult situations.
Is this how you want to be and how you want to be seen? Are you ready to be a leader who masters their triggers?
