Self- regulation
The text defines self-regulation as “control [of oneself] by oneself.” It emphasizes two key aspects:
Behavioral self-regulation
Emotional self-Regulation
involves acting in a way that aligns with long-term goals and deep-seated values.
It allows individuals to act in a manner that may be different from their immediate emotional or situational responses.
Behavioral Self-Regulation:
pertains to managing or influencing one’s emotions.
It enables individuals to talk themselves out of a bad mood or calm themselves down when feeling angry or upset.
Emotional Self-Regulation:
Two types of pressure that individuals may experience when practicing effective self-regulation:
Bad pressure
Good pressure
Occurs when individuals fail to self-regulate, leading to the accumulation of stress and the creation of a critical and toxic atmosphere.
Under this kind of pressure, people may lose focus, balance, and their ability to self-regulate effectively.
Bad Pressure:
a healthy type of pressure characterized by creating an assertive yet non-critical and non-harmful atmosphere.
Good Pressure
also known as people skills or EI (Emotional Intelligence), are personal attributes that enhance how individuals interact with others.
* These skills are essential for functioning effectively in social settings and are often considered behavioral competencies, interpersonal skills, or people skills.
Soft skills
are tangible, specific, and usually teachable technical skills that are used to perform tasks.
* They are typically associated with technical, job-specific knowledge and expertise.

Leadership Method:
Leaders provide direction, action plans, and support to their team members. They use periodic check-ins to ensure that individuals stay on the right track and offer empathetic corrections when necessary.
Empathy: Empathy is a fundamental component of coaching leadership. Leaders demonstrate understanding and compassion when interacting with team members. They use empathetic correction to guide and motivate individuals to achieve their goals.
Coaching
involves assigning tasks with minimal specific guidance. Team members are expected to be self-motivated, self-managing, and responsible for directing themselves.
Empathy: While empathy may not be as central in this leadership style, it can still play a role. Leaders should trust their team members to manage their responsibilities, and they can show empathy by providing emotional support when needed.

often used when leading new team members who may require more guidance and extrinsic motivation. Leaders provide clear instructions and direction to help individuals understand what needs to be done.
Empathy: Empathy may not always be the primary focus in instructive leadership. However, leaders can use empathy to understand and address the specific needs of new team members and provide support when they are struggling with tasks
Instructive
