We never want to let our emotions get out of control because we create a roller coaster effect. This emotional up and down is exhausting for co-workers as well as the person acting emotional. We do want to show emotion, we just need to make sure that it's balanced within the situation. Hey Jason, great point!

By creating a dialog with someone you disagree with they understand how we feel and we understand them a little better. By understanding each other a little more we can create the environment that makes both people comfortable. Hey Marelisa, it’s important that we are open and honest with the people we work with.

People have a tendency to say things behind other's backs instead of to their faces. If someone does something that you feel violates your boundaries in some way, it's important to address the issue with them directly, honestly, and calmly. I think a real man doesn't engage in "water cooler" talk (which to me is bad mouthing your boss, your co-workers, and/or the company you work for). <em>Marelisa's last blog post..<a href='http://abundance-blog.marelisa-online.com/?p=144' rel="nofollow">The Elasticity of Time (Part 1)</a></em> Communicating assertively is sort of covered in this phrase: “If a person or company fails him, he lets them know and if it happens more than twice he lets the employee go or necessary or takes his business else where.” People have a tendency to say things behind other’s backs instead of to their faces.

Sometimes people get so excited about good ideas that they burn themselves out and their excessive enthusiasm soon gone. It is great to be excited about things, but keeping yourself on an even keel so that you can harness that energy for the long run is much better than burning out quickly. It's like those investment commercials where the cyclist or jogger goes sprinting by the slower group, but it is the runners or cyclists who pace themselves that prevail in the end. Same goes for emotions and energy; moderation is the key. Now, I'm not implying not to get excited or show a lot of enthusiasm for a great idea. great ideas deserve to be enthusiastically supported; just make sure that the idea comes to fruition because you have enough emotional energy to support it throughout development not just at the start.

I wanted to write it from the man's point of view because one of my more recent posts was "How to Be a Woman at Work." I figured it was only fair that men got their article too.
