- SCF: 3rd Level Leadership Workshop - Many of our employees operate rationally on a good day. When stress occurs, the vast majority of them slide down to the emotional level, become reactive, lose purpose and perspective, and act to defend or blame. Productivity goes down, stress goes up, and the waste of money and energy is staggering. Here’s the clincher: YOU CAN LEAD PEOPLE TO THE RATIONAL LEVEL ONLY FROM THE 3rd LEVEL, not from the rational level.
