Frustrated? About to fire off that email? Don’t.
Lincoln wrote angry letters but never sent them. Marcus Aurelius mastered control.
Smart leaders do the same.
3 Rules to Avoid Regret:
The 24-Hour Rule
Step away. If it’s still worth saying tomorrow, say it better.
Write, Don’t Send
Vent in a draft. Review with logic, not emotion.
Choose the Right Medium
Hard talks? Face-to-face or call. Never an email.
Your reaction can cost you. Restraint sets you apart. Master it.
Ever sent something you regret?
