Understanding Leadership Triggers

Leaders often remain unaware of the emotional triggers that affect their decision-making and interactions within their businesses. These triggers can lead to negative feelings that impact their leadership style and operational effectiveness. Becoming aware of these emotions is crucial for architects who tend to manage stress poorly, often resorting to working excessively rather than delegating tasks. Addressing these triggers enables leaders to create a healthier work environment and improve overall business performance.
