When “Professional” Is Actually Avoidant
In high-performing environments, emotional suppression is often labelled as professionalism.
But calm politeness can sometimes mask discomfort, fear, or disengagement. Over time, this creates emotional distance and silent resistance.
Emotionally intelligent leadership invites honesty without punishment.
Action today: Gently name what you sense: “I might be wrong, but I’m sensing some hesitation — can we talk about it?”
Reflection: Where might professionalism be preventing honesty — in yourself or your team?
