Description
Ever walked into the office wondering if you’re leading with strength or just faking calm while barely holding it together?
In this episode of The Business Fix, Chrissy Myers and Josh Troche dive into the real-world challenges of managing emotions in leadership. They explore the true role of emotional intelligence in effective business leadership, breaking down the difference between emotional regulation and suppression, and how leaders can provide emotional support without becoming a therapist.
You’ll learn why tone and timing matter in employee communication and office communication, and how empathetic leadership reinforces company values. The conversation covers how to build psychological safety, strengthen team dynamics, and walk the line between professional boundaries and authentic leadership.
Josh shares hard lessons on dealing with frustration, while Chrissy reflects on navigating a family business transition. Together, they share insights on resilience training, conflict resolution, and shaping an organizational structure that supports a thriving workplace culture.
If you’re a business owner, manager, or future leader, this episode will challenge and equip you to lead with clarity, emotional intelligence, and impact.
