Leave Your Emotions at the Door - Episode 107

In this episode of Workforce Skills, John Morris tackles a situation that many leaders and employees face in the workplace: conflict between coworkers and the emotional reactions that can follow.

After receiving a phone call from an employee refusing to work with a superintendent, John breaks down why that mindset can destroy a career. In the real world, you don’t always get to choose who you work with—and learning how to handle difficult personalities is part of professional growth.

John discusses accountability, workplace expectations, controlling emotions, and why excuses hold people back from success. He also shares lessons about leadership, responsibility, and the mindset required to build a career instead of bouncing from job to job.

This episode is a powerful reminder that success at work often comes down to one simple principle: show up, do your job, and keep your emotions in check.
