Do you know anyone who makes everything more dramatic than it needs to be? The argument, the debate, the decision, the disappointment -- all become episodes of an opera-ish act. It wears us down all designed to get the drama-demon what they want.
Or is it?
Could it also be an uncovered need? Could it also be a cry for help that is clumsy yet genuine? How can we know? How can a leader ever know?
We can stay curious. We can question with the idea of learning, of opening up possibilities, of staying genuinely curious as if we don't know the answer -- because we probably don't.
Drama is a choice among many possibilities. Our response is also a choice.

We call it catastrophizing........it can be both unbelievably humorous and draining at the same time!
