Have you ever found yourself working for or know a "control freak" – we tend to think they’re someone who engages in a series of behaviors that frustrate others and cause resentment. In this Sound Bite episode, which is a shorter episode about a topic we’ve previously covered, we’ll ask ourselves: What if there was more to understand about control? Topics Covered: Gabor Maté definition of trauma Daniel Goleman insights about control Brené Brown’s thoughts about vulnerability and trust when it comes to leadership         Healing strategies to find balance   Here are 3 takeaways:   1.    Controlling behaviors could be resulting from an underlying trauma.
