There are three moods: one is powerlessness, the second is conditional power, and the third is unconditional power. Unconditional power is all about recognizing issues but still choosing to spend 100% of one\u2019s energy to create solutions.  There are certain principles that are universal in how human beings are built. An example is that if we listen to another person deeply, no matter how upset they are, they tend to start calming down. It doesn\u2019t completely solve the conflict or problem, but it is a good first step.  Don\u2019t be stuck in a victim mindset. Perhaps someone has spoken to you in a disrespectful or bullying way, whether they intended to or not. To be an effective leader, you need to separate your self-esteem from how others talk to you. You always have the choice to turn a situation into something that\u2019s psychologically beneficial to you.  \u201cUnconditionally powerful means we recognize conditions about people, resources, or whatever. But we spend 100% of our energy on what we're going to do about it.\u201d \u2014  Steven Gaffney   Connect with Steven Gaffney:   Facebook: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/TheStevenGaffneyCompany  Twitter: https:\/\/twitter.com\/steven_gaffney  Instagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/stevengaffneycompany\/  LinkedIn: https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/stevengaffneycompany\/    Connect with Jordan:  For executives wanting a complimentary executive coaching conversation: jordan@jordangoldrich.com  Website: www.workplacewarriorinc.com Twitter: https:\/\/twitter.com\/jordangoldrich1 Facebook: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/jordan.goldrich Instagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/jordangoldrich\/ LinkedIn: https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/jgoldrich\/   ","author_name":"Workplace Warrior\u00ae","author_url":"https:\/\/www.workplacewarriorinc.com\/workplace-warrior-podcast","html":"
