Replaying discussions helps no one
We’re all guilty of it.
I don’t know what it is, but replaying arguments in my head makes me feel alive.
There is passion and anger. I get a chance to say what I would have done!
This feels all well and good, except it takes up my time. Ultimately, I end up doing nothing, and I have a bunch of anger that is useless.
Generated anger is the problem with venting. It doesn’t let things go.
To resolve anger, discuss. When you feel things are unresolved, sit down, identify what is bothering you, and then talk.
Our brains are stubborn. If we don’t find a resolution, we will replay the argument and continue to waste time.
Time is critical. As a leader, it’s imperative you don’t waste any of it.
