With every promotion comes a weightier title, higher salary, and fresh set of stressors.
However, the more people you manage and the further up the professional ladder you climb, the more important it is to keep your cool, says Brandon Smith, a therapist and career coach known as The Workplace Therapist.
Slightly raising your voice during a team meeting is interpreted differently depending on what rank you hold in your office.
"With every promotion your emotional reaction gets more exaggerated in the eyes of your team," Smith says.
You just have to do so tactfully.
