Stay Calm at Work
When something bad happens at work...
- Don't worry or complain. Don't respond or react immediately.
Take extra time to evaluate the issue, the problem or the situation before taking any action.
- Don't become involved in their situation.
If you must, try to see and solve their problems from an outsider's point of view.
- Set up a formal meeting to hash out issues constructively, or
- Invite each team member to have a one-on-one conversation with you.
- In any and every situation, find every means to do thing constructively and amiably.
- Life is too short for gossiping or taking your frustrations out on your co-workers and subordinates.

These are very good tips to keep in mind.
I am giving you an award. You can pick it up at http://karenzemek.blogspot.com/2008/12/thanks-for-lemonade-award-for-having.html
this is sound advice.
I was once in a situation where my boss (ex-boss) exploded and started screaming about something I can't even remember, because it was so minor. I stood up and left the room, telling him I'll be back to talk properly when he has calmed down.
I think he went beserk after that!
Great post. Good lesson to learn. :)
This is good advice as a Technical Manager I often use these tips myself.
