“The emotionally intelligent will usually be aware of their hyper-flexibility and may check their impatience at the door before entering a meeting. Sometimes they may announce the fact that they are pressed for time thus lessening the chances another will belabor their point and disrupt their schedule. It’s never a good idea to mask your feelings and emotions from others especially if they end up on the receiving end of an emotion that could potentially be destructive. Honesty is truly the best policy for many of these situations.”
