What happens when you’ve asked clearly, explained why it matters and the work is still late, incomplete or not good enough? You feel the frustration rise and you get frustrated that you’re angry. In this episode of Leadership Live, I speak with Karen Thrall, author of Don’t Lose Your Shit at Work, about what anger at work is really trying to tell us before it turns into an explosion, withdrawal or the conversation we keep avoiding.

This conversation looks at anger as data: a signal that a boundary may have been crossed, a standard has slipped, a role isn’t being fully owned or something important needs to change.

We talk about the hidden cost of reactive leadership, the power of composure and why the most effective leaders aren’t the loudest in the room — they’re the ones who can create clarity in chaos.

If you’re leading people, navigating pressure or finding yourself emotionally stretched in your work, this episode will give you practical insight, honest reflection and a different way to think about leadership under pressure.

If this episode made you think about a conversation, reaction or leadership pattern that keeps repeating, pause before rushing to fix it. Ask what it is trying to show you. And if you want support thinking through the deeper leadership pattern underneath it, reach out to Daphna.
