Emotional Intelligence training in La Chaux-de-Fonds · canton of NeuchâtelManagement Training in La Chaux-de-Fonds: Is Suppressing Your Emotions a Good Strategy?

Is suppressing your emotions a good strategy? This is a practical question for team leaders in La Chaux-de-Fonds, across watchmaking factories, microengineering workshops and industrial design offices. Here is what the studies establish, and what they do not.
What Research Establishes
James Gross and Oliver John (2003, Journal of Personality and Social Psychology) show that reappraisal is associated with greater well-being than suppression.
The Limitations of the Data
Correlational studies; effects depend on the context.

What This Means for Team Leaders
Research does not provide a recipe: it indicates where to focus attention. In La Chaux-de-Fonds, the challenge is to translate this finding into observable behaviour, then assess its effect within one's own team. This is one of the areas addressed in [Emotional Intelligence Training in La Chaux-de-Fonds](/formation-intelligence-emotionnelle-la-chaux-de-fonds); all options are listed on the All Training Courses in La Chaux-de-Fonds page.
