How you react to conflict, how you communicate, how well you embrace being the team’s servant, and how you bring choice to emotional responses are all facets of who you are becoming as a coach. How and how much you bring these into your coaching is a matter of choice balanced with opportunities lost. The more skilled you become at mastering yourself, the more self-organized and self-monitoring the teams will be. If you cannot or will not do these things well, the consequences will likely not be dire. You just won’t be getting as much as you could for the teams or for yourself.
