If your boss values the power of emotion, then you'd better first determine the urgency of a matter, have a brief communication with your boss, and then carry on with your tasks. If this boss is more emotional, easily impulsive, and impatient, which some female bosses tend to have this flaw, your best response would be to immediately stop what you're doing, start the new task he assigned right away, and also show double the anxiety on your face compared to your boss.
In short, attitude is most important.
For the boss, whether you are as urgent as I am, whether you are fully committed to work can roughly be seen from your attitude. But the issue here is that being urgent about what the boss needs and being urgent about what the work needs might have different targets. Therefore, employees need to consider: one, from purely work needs, what is the order of priority? Two, from the perspective of catering to or soothing the boss's emotions, what is the order of urgency?
The final situation may become dramatic, where you rush out to do the newly assigned task, only to find, or as expected, it's not suitable to complete at this moment. But you don't rush back because that would lead your boss to think you didn't give it your all. Therefore, you must take a good stroll, have a cup of coffee by the roadside, check out the handsome men and beautiful women around before returning, still pretending to look anxious, and then regretfully tell your boss: "I went to handle it, but it's not feasible now."
For such old hands, some bosses will think: at least his work attitude is good. Of course, time will reveal everything; just having a good work attitude and not producing results will still result in needing to cool off somewhere.
Thus, some people complain: we have to produce results while also working part-time as the boss's emotional masseuse. There's no way around it; work is done by people, and people have emotions and human weaknesses.
Seasoned individuals who think they understand human nature well sometimes coldly watch new employees full of zeal rushing into work without considering the boss's psychology.
From a gentlemanly perspective, these old hands probably have a hidden expectation of watching newcomers trip up. And in reality, some indeed stumble, while others accomplish what their seniors thought was impossible after much deliberation. At this point, it might be the turn for those self-proclaimed worldly-wise elders to lament: empiricism harms the world.
