How many times have you held back from expressing your true feelings? A lot, probably. It's something that leaders tend to do. Cautious with their words, and hesitant to show genuine emotion, they take on the cool stoicism of a general. Or, worse, they sugarcoat their words to spare people's feelings. This type of reserved leadership style isn't always the way to go. Some situations call for a jolt of emotion — and good leaders know how to do it. Whether showing happiness or anger, they can get a reaction out of their charges when needed. They tell it straight. There is one caveat, however — a double standard. Men who wear their emotions on their sleeve (in moderation, of course) are praised for their honesty and openness. Women? Not so much.
