Why should leaders learn coping skills?
As leaders, we may be put into various overwhelming situations that require the ability to successfully cope on our own, or help others find ways to help themselves.
As leaders, it is important to be able to indicate certain responses our peers may have to situations, and think of ways that will best help them navigate their feelings.
