In business or personal life, it is helpful to understand and be able to deal with anger. In the past I found the anger of others, and even my own anger, as something frightening or undesirable. Now, however, I see it as an opportunity to heal.
Anger is the energetic expression of hurt. When we are hurt we lash out in order to protect ourselves. So when someone expresses anger, it is important to understand that beneath that energy lies a wounded soul.
Furthermore, under the hurt lies fear. We become hurt because we fear not being loved...and as a child not being loved means death. So the 'inner child' in us reacts with terror at being insulted, dismissed, disregarded or abandoned. When these things happen the fear becomes hurt which then becomes protective anger.
If you can see this in others and yourself it is easier to be compassionate and understanding in the face of angry expression. Look for the hurt and fear and you can be of genuine help to others...and this is the true meaning of leadership!
