What Is a “Calm Container”—and Why It Matters

A “container” is a place where we can temporarily put uncomfortable and challenging thoughts and emotions.

It’s also a place where people feel comfortable bringing those challenging thoughts and even talking about them, knowing they are with a reliable, trustworthy, and unshaming leader.

  • Great leaders know how to create containers, and it’s where the best solutions happen.

  • Creating a container in chaotic times is an invaluable skill for managers who are expected to bring teams together and remain focused and productive when things are chaotic and overwhelming.

Even if that container lasts for 30 minutes, it can be an effective tool for keeping teams together and on track.
