Dina Denham Smith book

Coming February 2025 from Oxford University Press

The workplace has transformed in recent years, dramatically heightening the expectations and emotional demands placed on leaders. 

 

Leaders today must safeguard their teams’ mental health and combat burnout (while managing their own), inspire a diverse and distributed workforce, allay employee fears of job security while championing AI, and show endless empathy—all while delivering results at a relentless pace. And that’s just a Tuesday. 

 

Even worse, leaders haven’t been equipped with the emotional skills needed to navigate these complex demands, and organizations often overlook the emotional labor they are shouldering. It’s no wonder leaders are burning out at alarming rates.

 

Emotionally Charged fills this critical gap, sharing practical, science-based strategies to help leaders manage the intense pressures and emotional complexities they now face so they can lead successfully and maintain their well-being.

 

From preparing for emotionally charged meetings to managing triggers, leading through conflict, supporting distressed team members, delivering difficult feedback and unwelcome news, and building resilience—Emotionally Charged equips leaders with the tools they need to thrive.

   

So, what are you waiting for? Get your copy of Emotionally Charged and buy one for your friend or colleague while you’re at it.  

 

Cheers to better days at work, 

Dina
