Lawyers who are or aspire to be leaders must learn to self-manage. Especially when stressed or under pressure (and who isn't, at least part of the time?) it's easy to let self-management slide in the face of provocation. Some attorneys I know offer a blanket apology to staff and colleagues - something like, "I'm feeling stressed, so please excuse me if I blow up or yell at you or throw things, ok?" I don't recommend that approach; it's been than nothing, I suppose, but it's actually announcing that bad behavior is coming, apparently largely unchecked.
