In the book Primal Leadership and in various other reasearches are reported that emotions impact on performances like for example job performances.

In particular negative emotions negatively impact on job performances. Negative emotions reduce focus in particular when negative emotions lead to rumination. Reduced focus decreases job performances.

Considering that:

• To successfully reach goals in a working context, it is necessary to have high performances.
• Negative emotions lead to reduced performances.
• The rule of a leader is to reach goals.

Then the ability to acknowledge emotions and handle them is an important skill for a leader.
