One of our good friends recently emailed this question:
So,
I was at an awful meeting this morning. I knew going into it that I
had to stay on my toes to keep myself above the line, because these
folks have a tendency to meander below the line. After the meeting, on
my drive back to the office, I received a call from my brother, who
generally spends a lot of time below the line. After the meeting and
the conversation with my brother, I realized that I was tired and
drained. After maintaining my firm position above the line in
difficult situations or for a long period of time, with folks who are
below, I find myself zapped of energy – how does one keep their energy
level up in these situations?
What do you think? How do we stay Above the Line without being drained when the world wants to pull us Below the Line? I have been pondering this myself, what with all the conversations about the financial crisis and the elections in the U.S.
What are your thoughts?
Warmly,
Ann
