ANGER RUINS TEAM SERENITY

Anger sows sour seeds

Anger is like a poison droplet in a cup of delicious milk.  While laughter is the best medicine, anger has adverse effects on a human body. The most important tip for startups is to keep anger under wraps. It not only spoils the mellowness of the environment, but also reduces the performance levels of the team and in turn overall success.

Especially as a part of entrepreneurship guidance, anger has to be under control for achieving targets within the given time frame. Psychologists reveal, anger not only splits a good team, it also bears brunt physically on the angry man.

However, the predominant truth is that by blowing up on a team member over an issue, one has to understand that the next time the dosage has to be more and eventually the whole situation turns chaotic.

The ideal entrepreneur attitude in testing times is to stay composed and away from incitement. Endurance should be the watchword in such circumstances. The best way to master the situation is to maintain equanimity and first take stock of the whole issue, rather than getting frantic over the present incident.

For example if a member has failed your expectation on an issue. Consider his/her track record and also take a fresh look at the issues that led to his failure. After this entire analysis if one is judiciously wrong, then call the person and seek sincere explanation, warn them but do not lose control.  Anger is not only disincentive it also sets in a bad precedent, to the entire team.

Especially for a budding startup, anger is destructive, as entrepreneurship is a bed of roses but with its equal share of thorns too. Hence, anger control measures play a vital role in the success of the entrepreneurship. grajkishan@gmail.com
