The last two days have been riddled with the unfortunate instances of workplace violence.
Yesterday in Fort Hood, Texas, it is alleged that Nidal Malik Hasan killed 13 people and injured 30 more. Read more…
Today, it has been reported that Jason Rodriquez entered the building of his former employer where he allegedly killed 1 person and injured 5. For more on the story…
There are a lot of issues to bring up here and probably will do so in the next few weeks but here is an immediate question to ask yourself, your business and/or organization… What do you do when workplace violence happens? Do you have a plan in place? Are there any policies that you’ve made or are aware of? Is there anything you think you can do? Is it your responsibility?
Lots of questions and often, so few answers… I will be revisiting this topic on my blog next week, so if you have any suggestions or questions you’d like to ask feel free…
Be safe this weekend…

Often when I’m talking to people and they find out about the kind of work I do, they begin to tell me stories about a time they got “so mad”. After listening to their story, I ask them if they really thought that they were “so mad” or just a little perturbed. Or I might say “seems like you were more than mad to me!” I’ve realized that many times we don’t have the words to describe the intensity of how upset we are about something.
So I have a question for you: Do you know the difference between being annoyed, angry and furious?
Think about the last time you were annoyed, angry or furious? How did it feel? How did you respond? What were you thinking?
The reason this is important is that it serves as a gauge to help you determine your level of anger when something triggers this emotion. Our emotional intelligence is just as important as our intellectual intelligence. Try this with other emotions and see what you learn about your self.
