Signals

Crying is an exercise to let one adjust to the perceived change and so is smiling. Humans simply emanate the signals based on their perceptions of their individual circumstances. When others receive these signals they may simply misinterpret it since there might be ignorance or relatively less information about the circumstances leading to such signals and then starts the social politics. The entire humanity is busy with sending, picking and reacting or responding to such signals.

To navigate in the complex world of communication, a leader needs to pick up or send the signals that help them build up the positivity around their persona. This can only be achieved by rigorous practice. As long as the silver lining is visible, life goes on. The moment it vanishes a leader needs to create one for their followers to see and stay hopeful.
