E277 - Frustrated at Work? How to Lead Without Blowing Up or Bottling Up

We don't like to admit it, but every leader has been there:

That Friday afternoon email from your boss.
The team member who “forgets” a deadline.
The rising heat in your chest right before you snap.

As much as we wish frustration and anger weren't part of leadership, they are.
The real question is: What do you do with it?

In this week’s episode of The Manager Track, we share:
The “pressure cooker” effect that builds up frustration until leaders explode
The difference between losing control and controlled intensity
How anger can actually help you be a stronger leader (if you know how to use it)
Practical steps to cool down in the moment and turn frustration into action

If you've ever worried about losing your cool (or bottling it up until you burn out), this episode is for you.
