Führung kompakt: Wie reagiere ich, wenn jemand emotional eskaliert? 🔥

Summary

This episode is in German.

Vanessa Laszlo, known for her work with psychopaths in prison, addresses what managers should do when a colleague escalates emotionally through tears, shouting or confusion. The Money Monday episode covers why naming a feeling shrinks it while ignoring it makes it grow, why she advises against consoling someone over self-inflicted difficulty, and how distancing and slowing down help. Laszlo also discusses clear communication as a basis for trust and prophylaxis against outbursts.
