Everyone's Facing Their Own Demons

Everyone's Facing Their Own Demons

A stakeholder may have been questioning your every move. A team member may have ignored your feedback on a document. Your manager may have sounded like they threw you under a bus in a meeting.

These situations suck. But before jumping to conclusions, it’s worth pausing.

Everyone's going through their own demons. Everyone.

That stakeholder may have difficult stakeholders breathing down his neck. That team member may have been deeply distracted with issues at home. Your manager may have just been forced to make a position redundant.

It's highly likely they didn't mean it, or weren’t fully aware of their impact.

Take a breath, and acknowledge - we're all human.
