Get over yourself...

Breaking news...you are human!  You have emotions and have bad days and things WILL make you mad!  But as a leader you don't have that luxury...when you hit the floor you must be on.  Like an actor, it's showtime!  But again..you are human.  It's gonna happen, it's going to bring a moment when you want to scream.  Don't beat yourself up when it does.  But it's critical you don't stay in that place.  Move past it, change the tone and message quickly.  GET OVER YOURSELF!  The team is also human, they have their own things, not to mention one of them is dealing with you.  So if you're in a bad place, it's going to push them to bad places.  At the end of the day, it's key to stay focused and keep your team focused on the job at hand.  Eliminate those distractions and even do something to get everyone mentally past the issue.  Ice Cream, Treats, order lunch, watch a goofy video (HR appropriate of course) - but make a gesture to move the group past the issue!
