Being a leader . . . 

What does Leadership have to do with Moods?

What "mood" is your leadership in? What "mood" is is running the show? What "mood" is steering the ship?


Do you ever feel like a dog on the end of a leash - and the leash is being led by a mood? Our moods, or emotional states are like harnesses or leashes, in that they constrain and coerce our thoughts and actions. Moods are like a fog gently and quietly moving in and blanketing the environment. Heidegger would refer to this as our "being-in-the-world". Our being-in-the-world is like a blanket of fog - there is no escaping it, it takes up residence in every corner of our world.

"Surgeon General's Warning"-  Trying to escape a mood could be hazardous to your ability to lead effectively, efficiently and compassionately. 

Embrace the mood, notice how it is shaping your thinking and doing. Ask yourself if it is producing results and ennobling others, in a way that is consistent with who you say you are and how you want to make a difference.

Leaders create moods - their own and those of organizations. What mood are you creating in your organization?
