Over the years people have constantly argued the need or perhaps insignificance of emotions in business or in a workplace. While some argue that it affects the business processes as well as the overall outcome, some believe it plays a big role in facilitating relationships in business. Well on the positive side emotions do play a huge role in relationships in the workplace as well as with customers. Being able to read the customers or clients emotions in determining what would work better for them or what exactly they want because this will go a long way in improving customer satisfaction which ultimately increases sales and profit. This is why most businesses pay a lot to train their employees emotionally so they can know how better to deal with customers as well as colleagues.

As humans we naturally gravitate towards people who understand us better and this works for sales and marketing. People want relief even if it's from a lovely understanding employee because the world is tough already, by understanding their emotions better in relation with your business you can draft appealing marketing techniques as well. This is the same with employees because their relationships at the workplace influences a lot of things. The more they understand themselves , the better they are at teamwork and this influences their outcome as a team.

For people who feel emotions have no place on business it's probably because they allowed emotions get the best of them while making critical business decisions and the results were bad. Emotions are powerful drivers and if you are not careful it might drive you into a brick wall, while they are good when dealing with clients or drafting a good marketing technique they may not be just as great when making decisions. One key to safely navigating your way around it is to understand your emotions and the role they play at every point in your life, that way you can learn to balance things so they don't get in the way of doing things. So before you make any decision, make sure you are emotionally balanced which means you aren't swayed by your personality, your family or an office romance. These relationships might break in the future but the results may remain forever so also the consequences so make sure to get your head cleared and levelled before making big decisions.

You could also make emotions the fuel of your drive because the more emotional and passionate you are about your business, the more you are willing to put more effort to succeed at it. Tap into this drive from time to time so you can be reminded what exactly it is you are fighting for as well as the goals you intend to reach. If you are worried your employees might frequently mix emotions with business and this might affect your business negatively then it is important that you set ground rules for emotional conduct in the workplace. That way things can be kept in check and unnecessary drama can be avoided.
