Uncover No Hard Feelings: Emotions At Work And How They Help Us Succeed Illustrated By Mollie West Fosslien, Liz, Duffy Categorized In Printable Format
recently entered into a new job where I had to take on a leadership role but I am fresh out of grad school and this would be my first time in anything like this position.
This book helped me to take a step back and realize where my anxieties were coming from, as well as become more secure in how I talk to staff and communicate with my boss.
It's still a learning curve and I'm still trying to find my way but I feel more confident in knowing how to navigate my emotions in the workplace than I did when I first started.
I loved the style of writing paired with the funny comics, For the visual learners it was a great way to showcase what was just explained in a doodle that made the topics understandable without compromising the information,
I used this book during my job's "empower hour" and will recommend it to my other coworkers, Spotted this as a "new release" and thought it would be an interesting read, I had a performance review and training not long ago and so that was still fresh in my mind as I thought this would be a good read and was curious to know what the authors had a say.
The book is a good overview on what emotions we might encounter at work or around work, what might be the causes and how we can manage them in productive ways.
Topics cover everything from boredom to lack of interest to anxiety, Factors that might affect how we feel that are addressed include gender, introverts vs, extroverts, race, etc. Throughout the book there are comics that help demonstrate the author's points, There's also looking at it from a leadership/management POV,
It seems like a nice overview and I'm glad a book like this was out there, but it feels too much like a good broad overview rather than an indepth look.
I would have liked to have had more discussion about any of the factors that can affect our emotions at work, They were great pointers and brief summaries, but in the end I felt like I had read a lot of these tips and tricks before and I didn't really much to get from this book.
That's not to say it's without merit because there are certainly people who haven't identified the source of stress at work or that they're stressed about work! Or they don't know how to deal with other factors like a very introverted employee or someone who is of a different race, etc.
So this is a good introduction like, I'd definitely recommend this to a new graduate entering the workforce or for someone who has been out of the workforce for a long time and is now returning but I'm not sure this will have a lot of value for people, especially if you already have other factors like a work spouse, strong support network, a good management team that works on developing more junior employees, etc.
Borrowed from the library and that's how I'd recommend it, although it might make a good gift for certain individuals as mentioned above, Great read for anyone who wants to get more out of work, show up better and lead better than ever, Filled with so much practical wisdom, countless true examples etc Cannot recommend enough! We are all brainwashed at some point into thinking being an “emotional” person has no place at work or makes you weak, and nothing could be further from the truth.
WE ARE HUMAN. Learning how to harness those feelings and use your superpowers for good is a powerful skill, I especially loved the chapters focused on culture and cultivating a diverse and inclusive workplace, Learning how to reframe stressors, how to be selectively vulnerable and GASP be less passionate about your job are just a few of the amazing concepts Liz and Mollie cover.
If you work literally anywhere, you can relate,/. “ Leadership is a skill, not a role, “ I enjoyed this and highly recommend it! Didžiausią pliusą knyga gauna už vertimą labai sklandus ir turbūt sudaro pusę skaitymo malonumo,
Knyga apie emocijas darbe, labiausiai tiks tiems, kam tenka daug bendrauti su bendradarbiais, nes apie tai daugiausiai ir rašoma, Iš vienos pusės negaliu sakyti, kad skaitydama atradau daug naujų dalykų, iš kitos pusės susižavėjau tuo, su kokiu paprastumu didžioji dalis tų žinotų dalykų buvo papasakoti.
I really enjoyed this book, Its not an indepth book of concepts, but its great, Im going to keep in on my desk as a handy reminder to bring my full self to work with tactical ideas of what that looks like, A handy and realistic guidebook in managing your emotions at work with actionable advices and illustrations! Loved how it told the us to never deny our feelings, but embrace them instead.
Nothing necessarily groundbreaking, but good tips to keep in mind,
I'm new to the workforce, so the concept of how to handle emotions at work was totally new to me, In my previous role as a student, I expressed my emotions however I felt like it, since most of my time was mine, Now that it's not, that mindset has shown itself to be infeasible, This book has some good info in it, for sure, like keeping in mind that people simply have different preferred styles of communication, among other tidbits, Additionally, this book made me feel like my case wasn't unique, that other people go through what I'm going through, It made me feel less alone, For that,
I can recommend it,
Still, it's not without its faults, It sometimes relies too heavily on classifying people into "introverts" and "extroverts," something which I'm fairly certain has been proven to be an oversimplied method of classification, Additionally, a fair amount of this info boils down to things either learned in kindergarten tldr, be nice or things one could figure out simply using their intuition,
Overall, despite its shortcomings, I would still recommend this book to anyone new to the workforce who's finding it difficult to know how to handle their emotions at work.
Additionally, I'd suggest this to any new people managers who, despite what their ego might tell them, do not know how to be emotionally sensitive at work and, frankly, could afford to put some serious work into building their emotional intelligence.
You know who you are,
Embrace your emotions at work and learn to be sensitive to others', It's just the decent thing to do, I liked some parts of the book, I related to a lot of the issues mentioned, However, to me it felt like the book was a bit shallow and lacked depth, Also, it was repetitive at times, Although it was short, it could have been shorter, Nice book to read to try to make the best of your attitude at work, Some tips on how to make the most of your emotions, I especially to apply it to work culture,
Perfect for those dealing with workplace dilemmas and frustrations, Cannonball Read Bingo: Font
In One Word: Insightful
This year I started a new job and it was a huuuuge life shift: new industry from nonprofit higher education to forprofit tech corporation new physical environment hybrid to remote only new role administrator to enabler.
Yes, enabler is a real job title, Who knew!. As with all things, I approached it with a thirst for resources that would equip me with the tools to be successful and help me find my way, Early on in a "getting to know you" convo with my supervisor, she mentioned that this was a book she found helpful as a resource at work, I'm a pretty hierarchical thinker, so my boss recommending a book to me meant that it skyrocketed to the tippy top of my "to read" pile, And it didn't hurt that it sounded like an AWESOME book by lizandmollie! For the uninitiated, lizandmollie are a collaborative duo who share their insights and reflections about modern concepts using words and illustrations.
I first came upon their brilliance on Instagram and their content and unique font stylings, BINGO! is some of my favorite stuff ever see pic for example,
So what's the book like The book is marketed as a "toolkit for dealing with negative emotions at work, " And yes, that's true, it is a handy reference manual for harnassing emotions at work, But more than helping me to deal with negative emotions, it helped me to realize that emotions having, showing, and talking about them at work shouldn't be taboo, I've internalized that being emotional at work is to be avoided thanks, patriarchy but lizandmollie are here to counteract that bunk poppycock, hogwash, straightup trash and illuminate how emotions can be your allies, nay, your strength, in a work environment,
The book is split into seven key topics: health, motivation, decisionmaking, teams, communication, culture, and leadership each section is an engaging blend of personal anecdotes, advice, and illustrations, all of which are underpinned by thorough research.
I'll make the bold claim that absolutely any person who takes the time to read this book will learn something: their ideas are the perfect blend of relatable and actionable.
This would be great to read with a friend or coworker and talk about, Like a lot of selfhelp style books, this book has loads of good information and is a dense volume of great tips and points to ponder, so reading it cover to cover feels daunting, and not the way to get the most out of it.
I would recommend reading a chapter every two weeks, to really have time to reflect and absorb it, And as hard as I endorse the book, I equally endorse following their content online, and though I haven't read their new book, heck it's probably great too!,
