“If you're at a 3 — tired, frustrated, carrying the argument from last night — you have two choices. One: regulate up. Find something that shifts your state — a song, a memory, a three-minute walk. Two: disclose. Walk in and say, "I'm having a rough morning. It's nothing to do with work. Give me an hour to settle." The disclosure: is radical in Indian corporate culture. It is also: powerful. Because it tells your team: "I am human. My mood is my responsibility. And I'm managing it — for you."”
