Crying is a normal emotional reaction to any number of triggers. A big one can be stress and work can be stressful. You may also bring your personal life to the office or feel humiliated or get bad news. You may also be the person who never cries (and that's ok too, but don't judge those of us who do cry).

Leaders need to offer empathy and kindness when their employees cry. If you've been there, you know how vulnerable that feels.

Today, we talk through techniques for recovering from an emotional moment as well as ways a leader can help their people feel safe and respected.
