How often do we blame others for our lack of ability to succeed and grow? Here’s a truth to consider: ‘I can’t control the other person’s behavior, but I can control my response. Their actions may be rude or unacceptable, but I still want my response to be measured and thoughtful. Even if they aren’t doing what is right, I still want to make sure I’m doing what is right.’ (J.Clear) As we focus on a good and right response when others misbehave, we will find ourselves developing our emotional intelligence and an ability to lead under pressure – all great growth areas.
