Each one of us has our own uniqueness. If some are creative others are talented in other ways. We need to identify our strengths use them to their fullest. By comparing with others you only end up feeling inferior or complexed. That can lead to low self esteem in an individual and that could lead to anger and rage. Low self esteem at work place is quite common; especially if your colleague is doing well and gets noticed for his or her efforts. You may also be equally good but it is just that you are not as smart as he/she is. Inability to make decisions because of confusion and fear of making a mistake or of disappointing others can also be due to low self esteem. Slowly the person isolates herself/ himself and with draws into a shell.
Anger due to low self-esteem can lead to rage and sometimes even prove fatal. People end up with depression and are on medication. Some even harm themselves. Low self esteem may be due to abuse as a child or victim of separated parents, insecurity due to illness, shy because...

Children throwing temper tantrums, is not uncommon. There’re parents who swear that they’ve themselves guarded against losing their temper in front of children, but still their children have turned out to be terrors. While it’s easier to fight fire with fire, while handling children, the best that parents can do is, adopt age-related strategies and cope. Sometimes, an infant should be left to his devices, for he will demand when he’s hungry. Distracting a 3 year old will help. A 5 year old will learn if adults stick to their guns or if ‘time-out’ is practiced. An older child who hasn’t learnt to control his temper will need parental ears and reasoning can help. If he’s justified in being angry, maybe a reality check can help. Teaching him coping techniques, tact, diplomacy may surprise him too. In teenage kids go through physical and hormonal changes. These changes perplex them and they know they are not kids any more. They expect to be treated like adults and don’t like to be told by parents what they should do. ...

Work has become the focus of every one today. There is no family time or kids time any more. Its work, work and more work. With the advancement in technology work has entered the family household also. Mobile phones and internet has made it a 24/7 office time. Gone are the days when people used to come back from work by 6 P.M and forget office. Today even weekends are spent in front of the computer answering Emails and doing office work. This can be frustrating and family life get’s disturbed. With deadlines being issued people are busy getting connected all around the globe to sell their product. Sitting in the US if you wish to do business with Japan or any other eastern country you need to keep awake to their time schedule. That not only affects your sleep but also quality time with your partner. This leads to anger and discontentment in family life.
Jim says, “My wife was always screaming and complaining and kids were clinging on to me greedily, solely because I was never around to spend quality time...

Team spirit does not necessarily mean that you need to be at their throats. A leader will know how to unobtrusively get work done from his staff. It is desirable that once a task has been delegated, you keep away. I have seen bosses pestering, hour on hour about the progress of work, giving suggestions and corrections all the while. Don’t be a back seat driver. It is demoralizing and sometimes downright irritating to the driver, when someone keeps correcting course from behind. Have faith in your subordinate. I can hear you moaning” If I leave it to these dunderheads, my business will close down within no time.” This is a common refrain from owners of small businesses. But you must have faith in your employees. Faith can do wonders. Let me assure you that people are capable of producing stunning results if left alone to their own ways.
Authority with responsibility:
Responsibility without authority is like a ship without a rudder.
Make available resources:
Without the necessary resources,...

As a human being besides basic necessities like food, clothing and shelter the next thing we need is appreciation. We all want to be appreciated for our efforts, be it at home or at work place. When that appreciation is lacking disappointment sets in and that gets converted into anger. Motivation and achievement are like two sides of a coin. Both go together. If your staff is motivated then they can perform better. Stock options and Esops offered by companies help people to perform better and help in the growth of the company. They give more than 100% to their work and retention of employees in such companies is less.
Lack of appreciation leads to staff leaving the company and join a rival one. Then it is like a revolving door of people coming and going. Though infusion of new ideas is healthy still the output of the company suffers. There are companies where though people are paid lesser than their counterparts they still to cling to the company only because their efforts are recognized and they are treated...

All of us set goals in everything we do. Only we don’t seem to follow it. Whether it is for weight loss or studies or in a relationship goal setting plays an important role in our lives. At work and in career setting goals is a must. Unless you clearly write down your goals you will not have clarity as to what you wish to achieve. And when you write down you goals you are clear about achieving them. Only when you don’t achieve or unable to anger sets in. you are angry with yourself as well as with your boss or subordinates. All of us blame others when we fail in achieving our goals. We either blame our luck or the organization or your boss.
There are two schools of thought in management regarding goal setting. One recommends total freedom to subordinates, to come up with their own solutions. This seems to encourage creativity and hence productivity. The second school of thought suggests that the path or the approach to a problem should be clearly defined by the supervisor to avoid confusion later on. Both...

Many a time’s people whom we work with can cause problems for us. Especially colleagues. There can be many reasons for this. It might be due to jealousy, incompetence, or just plain mischief. When there are fifty people working together, anger and resentment amongst them is quite natural. Nobody likes anybody and everybody wants only themselves to achieve. This peer pressure and competitive attitude has caused many scenes at offices where colleagues are angry with each other. This is where the boss or a human resource manager comes into picture. If they have strategized how to keep all their staff at optimum level then these issues will get ironed out.
There are colleagues who will take appreciation for your work by claiming it as theirs. This is often the case in most of the companies. If transparency is maintained then these kind of impersonation is common at work place. The job of a boss is to keep a cool head, judge people and keep them motivated to perform their best. Once the boss doesn’t get swayed...

There are umpteen reasons for us to be angry with our spouses, or partners. They can be due to lack of appreciation or not paying enough attention to your needs, being away from home due to work related issues, not participating in house activities, or just plain boredom. The best way to get rid of anger is to keep quiet and let the time pass. Time is the only healer for all issues. Partners can be exasperating while in a relationship. When you are new to each other the spark exists but as you spend more time with each other we tend to take our spouse for granted. Forgetting important days like birthday is generally the major issue. A woman needs to be constantly appreciated. Do that and see how she melts in your arms.
Another area where anger exists between spouses is in bringing up kids. Since both are from different back grounds there are many issues that need to be sorted out. The best way is to sit down and have a good talk. Flying off the handle at simple provocation can only lead to disaster in a relationship. By practicing yoga and meditation you can keep yourself calm and composed. ...
