A short excerpt from a Kathy Caprino YouTube discussion about leadership and emotional management in challenging environments. The speakers discuss how reacting to yelling by yelling back reflects insecurity in decisions, and emphasize rising above defensive, reciprocal reactions to prevent escalation and lead effectively.

We scream back at someone often because in some way, we don't have the ultimate trust in our decision and we're defending ourselves in your role. I made the decision. It's done now. I'm not undoing that. So you'll have to live with it. And so what is the purpose of yelling back at the person? It's ridiculous, right?
Correct. Only it happens as a natural reaction by. Of the human. Because the human being wanted your scream. You scream back and say, stop screaming. But you're just not screaming at.
No. And you need to rise above that reaction, that human defensive reaction, which is also a part of leading and working well with people. Because if we keep giving each other what we're giving each other, we're going to spiral out of control.
