Is There Room for Emotions in the Workplace?
On Feb. 4, the eve of the Super Tuesday primaries, Sen. Hillary Clinton had an emotional moment. The fact that her "teary moment" made headlines and caused a media outcry highlighted a common double standard professional women face: how the display of emotion can be perceived as an indicator of the incapacity for leadership; don't show emotion and be rejected as unfeminine. Communication and organization experts at Emory University and its Goizueta Business School explore the role of women and emotion in the workplace and note that for future generations, many of the stereotypes may no longer be a factor.

without emotions an organization cannot exist. It itself has emotions. It is very general statement-"Is there room for Emotions in the Workplace?" Believe me, there is a whole cricket stadium in the workplace for Emotion. the thing is that You should be able to Tame it, control it. think of the situation when you are going to launch a new product. What temptation,or anxiousness you feel? Why Ratan Tata gave scarce comment when CEO of a foreign brand of Hotel refused to sell it to Taj?
